"defeats the main purpose of LocalStorage (which is to be a simple, light weight way to store data)" Having one async callback doesn't make the API hard to use. Callbacks are easy to work with in JS. Adding one is not the end of the world by a long shot. That said, I suppose it is probably wise to chase down option 3), if people are motivated, so that we don't end up with *three* name/value storage APIs. - a -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
