Regarding the Storage proposal, we've debated this before. I support  
the existing text and its adoption/reuse of HTML5's Storage interface.

As Jonas indicated, the Storage interface has been moved from HTML5  
to a separate Web Storage spec [1] that WebApps will publish soon  
(perhaps as early as next week).
