As part of a larger webapp, I want to build functionality that allows a user to enter data while offline -- and then send that data back to my site when they have a connection again

I would like to keep this entirely within the browser, so...
Does HTML5 meet some (or all) of those goals as it's currently implemented in webkit/ff3?

While you could probably get away with using the local/sessionStorage object, I'd push to implement a client-side database.
Using a cache manifest you could pretty easily maintain a functioning form while the user is offline.
As for syncing up the fresh data, you should be able to get at it in any number of ways, leaving the logic and the method up to you.
