So.
The initial answer to the HTML Pages question is:
They were created to support the expanded
Oracle Projects Suite.
You must use the HTML pages if you wish to use
specialised functionality such as that available
through Project Resource Management
For most of us Oracle Project Management may

Imagine a Solution.
Develop your work schedule in MS Projects
Import it into Oracle Projects to generate a budget from the work
plan based on rates stored in Oracle
Link changes in complex work plans to integrated (simpler) financial
plans (i.e. update once and replicated across systems in background)
Link the budget variation process into new budget versions
Publish updates automatically to the teams homepages (no more
ignored emails or use of out-dated plan versions)
Tailor those team home pages to focus on key data and automate
the display of current tasks
Store issue lists in the same place and add the ability to assign and
track actions for them
Workflow supported and semi-automated production and publication
of project status reports from this integrated project data

Some functionality is new and unique to the
HTML pages and may offer value to existing
users
However, this powerful functionality involves
complexity and there are some gotchas and
annoyances
