I'd leave the JavaScript engine completely on the Web browser
side, wouldn't let it perform *any* operations to Emacs (reason:
security).
I'd enable Emacs Lisp access to JavaScript, perhaps via a socket,
and allow lisp programs to generate and send javascript down that
socket. Incidentally I already do the latter with Firefox and an
extension called mozrepl.
