Fwd: RfC: moving Web Storage to WG Note; deadline June 29

안녕하세요.

Web Storage 스펙이 W3C Recommandation track에서 Note track으로 넘어갈 것 같습니다. 이
내용에 대해서 6월 29일까지 코멘트를 받고 있는 중입니다. 이슈는 Web Storage의 Mutex를 보장하기 위해서 성능에
너무 많은 영향을 준다고 하며, 현재까지 이를 해결할 수 있는 방법이 없다고 합니다.

그리고 대안으로 Indexed Database API를 사용하라고 하는군요. 예전에 Web SQL Database도 유사하게
Note Track으로 옮겨졌었는데, 어쨌든 향후 Indexed Database API의 중요성이 날로 커지는 것 같습니다.

더 자세한 내용은 아래 메일을 참고하세요.

이원석 드림.

Hi All,

Despite Web Storage bug 12111 now having a fix [1], the "elephant in
the room" [2] for this spec is still the mutex issue encapsulated in
the spec:

[[
http://www.w3.org/2011/06/Web%20Storage.html#issues

The use of the storage mutex to avoid race conditions is currently
considered by certain implementors to be too high a performance
burden, to the point where allowing data corruption is considered
preferable.
]]

Given: Indexed Database API provides an alternative to Web Storage,
the relative severity of this issue, there is no plan to fix this
issue, _this is a Request for Comments to stop work on this spec and
for [1] (or a similar fix to bug 12111) to serve as the basis of a WG
Note_ (as was done for the Web SQL Database spec).

One consequence of moving Storage to WG Note is that any spec that
references Web Storage would need to change. The only spec I know of
with such a dependency is the Widget Interface spec and it could solve
this problem by copying those parts of the Storage spec that it needs
(Marcos has done some preliminary analysis on this). If anyone knows
of any other spec that references Web Storage, please let us know.

Comments on this proposal are welcome and please send them by June 27
at the latest.

-AB
