I second that. It also neatly sidesteps the arms-race with those apps (constantly updating them as a result of the web sites making breaking changes). I was trying to create an app for CBC programs but couldn't invest the time to learn how to get the streams. Now I'm looking at using a browser plugin plus a custom page with big links to CBC and other sites that I'm interested in and I'll just watch the streams from there. So, while I agree that we don't want to start extending XBMC beyond media, I'd say web browsing is close enough that it warrants inclusion.
