FWIW, I initially thought localStorage deserved to be treated more like cookies, because I felt that localStorage wouldn't be reliable from a user perspective anyway -- using different browsers, etc. But I was convinced by the analogy to bookmarks and settings, and use-cases like prolonged offline use, or use that's offline from the beginning (e.g., HTML/CSS/JS-based apps that you download and install like desktop apps). It seems valuable to guarantee the data will be as persistent as bookmarks and so forth.
