I support a FPWD since I'm all for drafts of any kind being published. However, I'm still unconvinced that this draft is heading the right way for the web. My concern is two-fold: 1. It doesn't define enough to allow multiple interoperable implementations. This is because the SQL dialect is not defined. 2. SQL doesn't seem very web-friendly. For example the ability to store serializable JS objects and index on a property of that JS object seems hard to fit with SQL. The problem is even greater when the two are combined. Once the SQL dialect is defined, it's quite possible that UAs won't be able to use a SQL library like sqlite, but instead have to more or less build their own SQL implementation. This makes the cost extremely high, and the result not something that even that closely matches what developers want. / Jonas On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 3:01 PM, Arthur Barstow<art.barstow@nokia.com> wrote: > This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to publish the First Public Working Draft > (FPWD) of the Web Database spec: > > http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/ > > Note that at one point in time, the Web Database spec's functionality was > included in the Web Storage spec. > > As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and encouraged and > silence will be assumed to be assent.
