Most port 80 TCP traffic can't be done straight from the browser. E.g. it won't let you write arbitrary headers.
Cross-domain requests won't work for the majority of sites.
And non-HTTP requests can't be done at all from the browser, it would be a pretty limited "network interface" if all it could do was call out to XMLHTTPRequest.
