At the time, I was assuming we would have just the one database spec, so 
Web Database made sense as a I name. Given the new direction of the 
working group, I agree that renaming Web Database to Web SQL Database or 
something would be sensible. We should probably also rename Web Simple 
Database to something more descriptive, so that people can distinguish 
them more easily.
