Do you know how exactly this would work? Would it be a programmatic API thing like WebSockets, or would it be an actual client built into the browser?
I will admit that the fact that this is going to be widespread - even across browsers - makes me nervous. The fact that it's peer-to-peer helps but is not going to stop a determined NSA - especially because it's going to have to have some sort of NAT traversal functionality (unless it'll be on IPv6 only, of course...) and that's going to be a weak spot.
