Well, my understanding was that we had to have Web Storage for API &  
Events anyway since that's what implements preferences (and we need to  
define how it's used so that we can get read-only keys). Even if  
that's all there is, it'd be a little bit silly for a UA to support  
Web Storage for the preferences but not in other contexts.
