This is possible with current technology: $(document).keypress(sendKeypressInfo)
$(document).keypress won't pick up keystrokes from across tabs or windows. So unless the popup is the active window, you should be safe from something like this.
I feel like DataChannels are the best part of the WebRTC standard (or would be, if they were usable): a true p2p connection allowing transfer of arbitrary data without plugins or anything. This gives multiplayer games, file transfers, realtime chat and collaborative editors (let your imagination run wild...) and the only thing a server is required for is establishing the connection (and saving state). This functional…
This is what really excites me. I want to build a P2P DHT in the browser, basically see if I can implement something like Freenet entirely in JS.

That's what I meant - most probably some server support will be required. I hope ejabberd and others will address this. Until that WebRTC won't be useful for building web based XMPP/Jingle clients. Regarding codecs - most XMPP/Jingle clients support VP8 and Opus is catching up too. It's not like there are many of them around anyway. Farstream supports both if corresponding gstreamer components are present.
IIRC, ejabberd is agnostic about the XMPP messages going through, you should be able to use strophe.js to craft the proper Jingle packets from the browser's offer/answer session description. Given codec and SRTP compatibility with clients, eg GTalk (which I don't know about), you should be good to go.
Yes, please, please, please kill Skype. Kill it mercilessly. Using it has been the worst experience I've ever had with an application. I've been in a long distance relationship for a few years now and Skype has sadly been our main mode of video communication. The app crashes when I search chat history, can take upwards of 90+% of my CPU, literally forcing me to shut down every other application I have running. The fo…

But ejabberd still had to enable support for BOSH or WebSockets first. Without it Strophe was of no use. So I assumed that similar thing has to happen with in this case in order to be able to route the Jingle stream from the browser over WebRTC. If the server modifications won't be needed at all - then of course it'll simplify things. Also, clients don't always use SRTP - there can be other methods like ZRTP for exam…
Well, it's encrypted, so that seems like a reasonable alternative to the potential of being spied upon when using Skype.

Google has the infrastructure to make it happen via WebRTC, but it would need to be integrated with accounts and payment.

By your own admission, Skype is the best video communication platform that exists but is far from perfect. It's hard to disagree. Why isn't someone creating something better?

Have you tried Google Hangouts? I've had some success with that lately over Skype.

Voice communication over the Internet and, well, everything else needs to stop and symbolic communication needs to flourish.
Today data plans are an add on to voice plans. Tomorrow it will flip.
