Hi, During the testing of TWI's preferences attribute in Opera, I noticed that preferences had stop firing events at the window object. I asked around a bit and it was pointed out to me that Web Storage had changed to no longer fire events at the window object that contains the storage area. Now it only fires events at other windows. This makes absolute sense. In response, I've clarified the text in the TWI spec: Upon invocation of the setItem(), removeItem() and clear() methods, if the invocation did something, a user agent must dispatch a storage event akin to what is specified in "the storage event" section of [WebStorage] (i.e., the preferences attribute behaves the same as sessionStorage and localStorage with regards to dispatching events). I will add one more test to the test suite for widget.preferences.clear(); -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
