Can you help me understand the problem you're pointing out? The
difference between the idea outlined and the current spec is the
absence of the transaction callback, but it basically (I think) has
the equivalent net effect.
db.createTransaction is just a mutable list of statements until the
execute method is called. In fact, it could even probably be just a JS
array.
tx.execute(..) immediately returns, then asynchronously (pardon the
sketchiness):
* opens transaction
* calls optional errorCallback if fails
* proceeds to execute statements in queue
* calls optional successCallback upon success.
I don't see it as being too much different from the spec's transaction
steps. In fact, I can easily see this written as a JS wrapper around
the current spec.
