Re: [w3c/IndexedDB] API to enumerate databases (#31)

> For your second example, it's really difficult (if not impossible) to design a Web application that supports having mutually distrusting users authenticated at the same time. Again, Dev Tools can most likely be used to extract information belonging to other users. Each user should have at least a separate browser profile. Ideally, users should be separated at the operating system level, so they get separate (optionally encrypted) home directories.

This brings to mind another use case we have at LinkedIn. If a user explicitly logs out, we would like the ability to reliably enumerate over and destroy all databases, getting rid of potentially private data. Of course we could attempt to "remember" all DB names and enumerate over that list, but that's a human process that could potentially fail.
