If we follow my approach, we are going to run chrome itself inside the
sugar shell. A web activity is going to be installed in chrome and opened
in a UI-less window (if you play with web apps in chrome, that should make
more sense). The sugar shell is going to do some magic to make the chrome
web activities look like native activities. Display an icon for them in the
home etc.

Mine of course! :P

Kidding, I don't know that yet. We are planning to meet when Simon (one of
the sugar maintainers) is back and find a consensus on the way forward.
