Sure. For each Storage object that isn't sessionStorage or localStorage, 
you'll need a section like "3.4 The localStorage attribute", but defining 
the contents of the object for your case. There, you can add additional 
restrictions like "if setItem() is invoked with a value defined as 
read-only, then the user agent must throw a NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR 
exception" or whatever.
