I'm probably about to show my ignorance of bitcoind and Javascript/HTML5 in a couple of lines (I'm a Java/C programmer and tend to ignore Javascript wholesale) but here I go.
Is it possible to push smaller work units than the default (most cpu's seem to do about 1 share per minute from my experience) in order to reduce the amount of time required on each page, or are the share sizes a hard coded part of bitcoind/rpc? Or perhaps is it possible to have the miner store its state in HTML 5's cache in some way, so that it can be resumed on subsequent pages? Or maybe make use of a cookie to store the state information which is then reread on the new page?
My intention is to only have it run for guests to the site, the person can choose to not enable it by simply registering with the website - fair trade off in my eyes.
Edit: I'd like to make a request, I'm sure its already on the cards but I'll ask anyway, within the control panel it would be nice to see some information such as effective total hash rates, number of users currently hashing and such and perhaps some distinction between the pages which it is being run from (or some ability to set of "campaigns") so that we can see which pages on our websites are proving more or less effective that generating coins.

I'm not sure the client will be very happy to see his computer burn CPU for apparently no apparent reason, though. 
But indeed it is probably better than annoying add. Again: awesome idea.
