One quibble I have with this revised aspect of the spec is that database use somewhat overlaps schema. A site can decide to have a single database with many tables, or they can decide to divide their tables across multiple databases, thus leading to three or four prompts. There might be byzantine reasons for this - maybe a product is composed of elements from three or four groups within a company, rather than being monolithic, and the databases are used for namespace control. Unfortunately, I can't think of a good action item WRT the spec. I suspect that the user-agent might end up going in the direction of maintaining an aggregate quota for an origin. -scott
