I think IndexedDB is almost good enough for writing all kinds of
abstractions and reusable libraries on top of it. Only major issue I'm
having is the lack of ability to listen add, modify, delete events through
object store. This makes writing additional abstractions unnecessarily
painful when keeping things in-sync requires routing notifications through
local storage or other similar mechanism.

So to raise my original question: what do you think, do I have any
realistic chances to get forward with this change?
