Me confused. I expect when there are fewer more pressing matters (like the thousands of outstabding e-mails of feedback) that we can split out the storage section into its own document much like the workers section, and the "Web SQL" definition can live there. Or it could be is own spec. I don't really mind. It's mostly academic at this point. > > If anyone does want to help with such a section, that would be really > > useful.

Sure, if someone wants to volunteer and wants to do it that way instead, then that's fine by me too. So long as the implementors are on board and we end up with interoperable implementations, I don't really care how it's done. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
