The charter [1] includes "Offline APIs and Structured Storage for  
enabling local access to Web application resources when not connected  
to a network."

This is at variance to the abstract of the current editor's draft [2]  
which states in its abstract that the spec includes and API for "a  
database system with a SQL frontend." (emphasis mine)

The former does not imply the latter and is the cause for Oracle's  
objection to the current draft.
