I have just heard this is a no-go, so never mind. On the other hand, I'm 
still curious about the capabilities of HTML5. It isn't clear yet what 
it can and can't do, particularly with more complex multi-stack apps. It 
would be useful to know what stays in RAM, how stack navigation, 
libraries, and shared resources are managed, that sort of thing.
