Windows Phone 8 Development with Phonegap

I have jut read this documentation http://phonegap.com/blog/2012/12/21/apache-cordova-and-windows-phone-8/, and I need to ask a very simple question. I know you cant do Windows Phone 8 development without Win 8 OS but if I have all my assets done on another machine say XP with like ublime Text using Jquerymobile, can I just upload my html/css/javascript to Phonegap Build and have it produce my xap files that can be submitted to Win Phone 8 store?

Correct me if I am wrong is this not suppose to be the purpose of Phonegap Build in the first place?

I just developed an application for Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8 with jQuery Mobile and Phonegap. Theoretically you can upload your folder - as you supposed - to Phonegap Build and it is ready to run. But the store is very strict and I'm not shure if it will be certificated because of the not windows-like look and feel.\n\nThis sites helped me a lot: \n\nhttp://msopentech.com/blog/2012/10/30/added-support-for-wp8-in-apache-cordova-sencha-touch-and-other-open-source-frameworks\n\nEspecially this one:\n\nhttp://sgrebnov.github.io/jqmobile-wp8-theme/\n\nIt is a jquery-mobile theme provided by Microsoft itself and the application just looks native. There some special HTML-Tags needed but the transformation is very fast if you are fit in JavaScript. Then your app will be easily certificated!",

Developing a phone gap app is entirely different than developing a native app. You are essentially developing in phone gap's style using their api's and then letting them convert it to a xap for you. You do not need Windows 8 to do this as you are not using Microsoft's tools or apis.",
