Legitimate question: Would Apple allow you to put the lightest possible wrapper around an HTML5 app and charge for it through the App Store? Or would the review board tell me that I should just make the app available through the browser instead? I ask because customer expectations are set up to make it far easier to charge for a native application. Even if that isn't your primary source of revenue, charging a dollar or so for the application could help recoup development costs.

Generally, yes. I have a Mac App Store app that is just a wrapper for a WebView.
You can, but you may get punted out with it called "a web clipping", even for apps that are clearly applications.
