True but we know the distinction is that Web Storage does not use a database. Or I guess to put it more precisely, it's not exposed to applications as a database. I do realize that to casual readers that distinction might not be obvious to readers. But we always have a tradeoff between, on the one hand, trying to make spec titles precise, and on the other hand, keeping the titles concise. I think the Storage vs. Database distinction is one that makes a pretty good tradeoff. > Which brings up another point: Maybe WebStorage should be renamed as well? I don't think we should unless somebody can come up with a concise way of qualifying it more. I guess "Web Local and Session Storage" might be more precise, but I'm not sure whether most people would consider that an improvement. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/
