I've had a lot of past experience with HTML-DB and have implemented at two
customer facing applications that also linked in to Oracle's Single Sign
On.
Before I went down this road, I talked to the Oracle Product development
manager for HTML-DB (Sergio Luscenin?) and he assured me that Oracle was
devoting both human and monetary resources for further development.
I've also heard about the RAPTOR project (fully written in HTMLDB) and am
pretty anxious to see that.
The only thing I would add to others who have already spoken up is that
along with reasonable PL/SQL knowledge, you need to have a fair
understanding of the HTML DOM and how HTTP applications work in terms of
POST and GET. It will save some confusion later.

Subject: RE: HTML DB - here to stay?
All,
Thanks for all of the comments, my current conclusion is that it is worth
looking at HTML DB and that we should at least try to use it to replace
all those little Access based applications the people involved with this
have developed over the years.
Regards
Pete
