Before Chrome and Firefox there is Pokki, which has been doing this for over 2 years. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS desktop apps, with App Store.

The weakness with such an approach is that it is not the browser itself pushing the apps through user discoverable means. You have to know about Pokki before hand in order to find it. I myself never knew such a service existed until now. In some ways Pokki is more powerful than Firefox on Windows but it nearly providing the same kind of functionality.
