Dear Narsel Kunze,
This idea is very nice and has been discussing many times.
But it seems you can do this yourself just now and quite easy.
Just adjust you Netscape for the ".CC" extension to instruct it to
run local ROOT via the command line like
ROOT <clicked-file-name>.cc
For example with "Netscape 4.0" for Windows just go to
1. Edit->Preferences->Navigator->Applications
2. New->
Description of - "ROOT macro files"
File - "cc" (cxx,c,cpp used to be occupied by
MSVC compiler)
MIME type
Application to - %rootsys%\bin\root "%1"
The same thing can be done via Microsoft Internet Explorer even
more easy. MS IE allows the user to define several applications for
one and the same file extension. And it works very nice (at least
under my Windows NT)
Adjust you browser and then try:

http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine/www/LHCBGeometry.CC
http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine/www/STARGeometry.CC
(Note: The last two macros use OpenGL DLL. It is always loaded
for Windows NT and needs no special user's action. Your computer
should be quite fast to play those macros, but you may try ANY our
macros from the ROOT/tutorial section yourself)
