Oracle does not support the substance of the current Web Storage draft
[1][2][3]. This is a path-breaking change to the Web applications
platform and rushing such a major change without substantive
consideration of alternatives is not in its own best interest. Oracle
does not see it fit to advance the current draft along the
recommendation track
Still, we believe that the working group will benefit greatly from the
wide review of this draft. Has the chair exhausted all such
alternatives such as Working Group Note? At the very least the status
needs to be clear about the purpose of publishing the document. A
boilerplate status is not appropriate since there are important
concerns about the technique used for structured storage in the draft.

The following drafts are relatively stable and would benefit
greatly from
wider review:
Server-Sent Events
http://dev.w3.org/html5/eventsource/
The Web Sockets API
http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/
Web Storage
http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/
Web Workers
http://dev.w3.org/html5/workers/
Assuming there is consensus in the working group to do so, could we
publish these as First Public Working Drafts?
Cheers,
