It would help if you could give some specifics. 'A dedicated sandbox' is a pretty meaningless thing, since all JavaScript does run in a dedicated sandbox. Some of the things HTML5 can do:
- OpenGL ES via WebGL.
- 2D vector art, either immediate mode via canvas tags or scene graphs via SVG.
- Audio and video playback, via (scriptable) audio and video tags.
- Get network data without going through HTTP via WebSocket.
So, what can you not do with HTML5 that you can do with Flash / Silverlight?
