I am wondering if there are any wireless headphones that uses WiFi (instead of RF, bluetooth, IR, or proprietary technologies like Kleer or apt-X), so that it can stream losslessly from a local PC server via wifi router.
The only thing close I found was Koss's Striva that streams via wifi from streaming music sites or a dongle.  But I don't know if it's lossy or lossless...
Seems to me, if we can just cram a smart phone's guts into a headphone, this should be more more than feasible technology-wise.

Never heard of that. Would be interesting because streaming lossless to your headphones would mean you would have to have a quality DAC in the headphone itself.
