Packaged apps (still Chrome canary) now at least have most UDP/TCP socket functionality (when experimental API turned on in flags), so the door is at least open (soon) to more advanced apps.

It's been open since they did ChromeOS, but Google Talk was the only app they wrote specifically for it. Even today, 95% of Google's apps are firmly HTML4.

  Chrome apps (apps, not websites) use proprietary Chrome APIs beyond HTML. Behind Chrome, Google uses plugins, like webgl for Maps and the Talk plugin for chat. Why does HTML " 5 " matter more than the actual functionality?
