+<p>A <dfn export>storage endpoint</dfn> is a storage or session storage API that uses the
+infrastructure defined by this standard to keep track of its storage needs.
+
+<p>A <a>storage endpoint</a> has an <dfn for="storage endpoint">identifier</dfn>, which is a
+<a>storage identifier</a>.
+
+<p>A <a>storage endpoint</a> also has <dfn for="storage endpoint">types</dfn>, which is a
+<a for=/>set</a> of <a>storage types</a>.

It's been requested to be able to use APIs with different backends. E.g., session IDB. This would allow for that.
