I've seen a few people using UIWebView. It works fine for simple examples.

But ... it's slow, and it throws away many of the good features: you lose all of Core Animation, you lose all of Objective C (if you prefer javascript, I'd assume you'd write your whole app as mobile web instead), you lose all memory management (with large SVG's, that's an issue), and it's much slower than working inside C.
