A thing I've been thinking about for Gears would be the ability to spin up an in-memory/async "session" database, with the sense of "session" being the same as for "session cookie". For this database, when control returns from an update statement, the data is _not_ guaranteed to be on disk, and if your browser crashes it is explicitly guaranteed to be gone. So far, so useless, except if you allowed the system to attach that database to a persistent database. In such a system, you could do synchronous operations against the session database, and bulk async operations to propagate the data to the persistent database. -scott
