The API we're talking about here crosses the browser/Javascript boundary. The question I asked first is (making it more precise) is whether there is any project that has specified, coded and deployed futures as specified in the DOM specification as part of the browser/Javascript boundary. The answer, given the age of the specification, is clearly a resounding NO. Some group has to be the first one to incorporate futures into their specification, and show that it works for them. Anne claims that the IndexedDB WG has volunteered. I'll be happy to revisit the issue once it's clear that they've succeeded.
