Good point, I hadn't considered that. This is similar to Drew's point about
a systray API.
I wonder if read-only access to localStorage will be confusing to authors.

Would localStorage start off empty (and have no persistence) as it does in
regular renderers, then? I think read-only access to localStorage is
important because extensions currently use it for storing preferences, and
ideally they would share settings without the extension explicitly
supporting it.
