What happens if a database is open in a page in the back-forward cache?
That's incompatible with onunload having side-effects.

I know the BF-cache is off-spec, but it's extremely useful and will
hopefully find its way into the standard some day, so it'd be nice to keep
it in mind.

I suppose the browser would discard whole pages from the BF-cache on demand
if required by a setVersion call.
