Someone who knows better should speak up here, but from what I understand it's more than pure html/javascript: again, I have never used it, but it looks like with PhoneGap you also have API to access sensors, filesystem, etc ... of the device.
Yes, besides the fact that we would keep everything open source, the biggest advantage is that we wouldn't need to learn anything new to help our fellows who are developing the mobile apps. In fact, this project could merge with the mobile-navigation branch that jan is going to start. And perhaps it's just far foreseeing, but apps for platforms such as Firefox OS and BB10 will be mostly based on html/js as well.
