Agreed. Currently I would summarize the situation as: A UA that conforms to the W3C A+E spec MUST make widget.preferences available. The UA environment MAY also provide access to window.localStorage The UA MAY use window.localStorage to store widget.preferences (and therefore the two collections will have the same content) Recommendation for Widget authors: use widget.preferences An author could use both, but would run the risk of unpredictable behaviour. For example, storing objects with the same key using both widget.preferences and window.localStorage would have different results in different UAs. For Widget authors I really think sticking to widget.preferences is the safest approach to ensure their widget is portable.
