Bullshit. If somebody broke UI rules in as brilliant a way as Cummings did it, Apple would accept the app. Meanwhile, publishing companies reject poets with shitty punctuation every day. The fact that Cummings was published has a lot to do with the fact that his punctuation was awesome. (Also, Cummings wrote more typical sonnets before he started experimenting, so there was precedent.)

If you want to be experimental, be it online. Nobody can deny access to your HTML5 creations. In fact, Apple's one of the biggest pushers of compliant modern web browsing.
