I seriously doubt the specced behavior is web-compatible.  For instance, I
myself just discovered this when trying to store booleans in localStorage, and
worked around it by testing localStorage["foo"] != "false".  If
localStorage["foo"] = false suddenly actually sets it to false instead of
"false", this will break.
