When designing an HTML5 UI for a mobile html application (non native) that is expected to run on Iphone, Android and possibly more platforms, Will you design it based on Iphone standards? Android Standards? or just select you own look & feel ?

How for example will you display a system message popup ?

It's a web app. You don't pretend it's not. The general standards apply to most all touch devices (touch areas, relative screen sizes, etc.) but don't try and use actual native UI elements from either device as that's somewhat deceiving (it's not a native app) or just confusing (the UI isn't that of the device you are on).

As for a system message popup, you can't show that from the browser. So you have to build your own. You can leverage the browser's native JS alert and confirm pop-ups, or you can build your own modal window implementation using JavaScript.
