localStorage can store binary data per spec, it's just not implemented yet.

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: none yet
Rationale: We actually used to have an API to add things to the appcache, but
we removed it in a simplification sweep a while back. I expect we'll add it
back in a future version once browsers reliably implement what we have so far.
We don't want to run away from the browsers adding too many features, though,
or interoperability will suffer as they each pick their own bit to implement
and ignore the rest.
