Regarding: Making the W3C Web SQL Database Specification Active

Dear Members of the W3C Consortium::

*Regarding:  Making the W3C Web SQL Database Specification Active*

I would like to request  that you make the W3C Web SQL Database
specification active again. The Web SQL Database Specification enables
developers to build web-based applications that can store, retrieve,
manipulate and query against data on the client machine. This technology is
similar to SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, etc. Web SQL combined with
Manifest enable developers to build web-based applications that work while
offline.

The Web SQL Database specification was on the W3C Recommendation track, but
the specification was stopped because Mozilla and Microsoft did not want to
implement a specification that lacked proper SQL definition. I know there
is a need for both a NoSQL and SQL solution. The two specifications (Web
SQL Database and Indexed Database API) that exist to date are acceptable.
However, as stated above, the problem is the lack of definition for SQL.
Since lack of definition is the issue, I would like to recommend a remedy.
I know SQL experts and great documentation writers who I would gladly hire
to further define the Web SQL Database specification and fill in the
missing SQL definition. Is this something that would be possible to help
revive the specification and get the remaining vendors on board?
