HTML5 apps are not a valid replacement for native development. There are many device capabilities that are only accessible through the native development SDK, such as anything requiring access to various hardware, or that needs to integrate with data on the phone. Even if half the rejected applications could be written in HTML5, that still leaves the other half. I'm sorry, but that's not an acceptable solution. I should be the one to determine whether an app can run on my device, not my vendor.
