Do we make naming decisions considering just us WG members as its audience or that of the general public? I think the general public is well within its rights to treat Web Storage as a persistence technology that seems to be like "Key-Value" database. I want to emphasize here that I think "key-value" in the title misses the subtlety - it is the use of index sequential access that is at the heart of WebSimpleDB, and not key-value storage.
