All the more reason to support both WebSQL and IndexedDB. It is not a case of either/or. It would be healthy to have competing APIs. Competition might be a great thing. But it doesn't address the issue in the least. It would still be the case that some developers would choose to use WebSQL, and browser makers would still have to support it, including support the SQL dialect it uses. Hence it would still be the case that we would be relying on the SQLite developers to maintain a stable SQL interpretation to keep a healthy and functional web. / Jonas
