Well one thing that HTML has over PDF is the ability to create typed
links (RDFa) to other resources. To me that's a technical preference.
Also the fact that it renders on all devices natively (all devices
come with a Web-browser) is a technical preference. The fact that you
can run JavaScript and provide interactions such as
http://worrydream.com/LadderOfAbstraction/ is a technical preference.

Probably many more...
