It seems to me that Berkley DB style database storage, and request  
interception / programmable cache are orthogonal ideas and should  
arguably be separate drafts. I would assume request interception and  
programmable cache are usable regardless of what client-side storage  
APIs are available, much as HTML5 Application Cache is independent of  
these APIs. If anything, it seems more closely related to AppCache  
than to any proposed storage solution.
