I strongly agree on these points. I would prefer to see SQL Storage
split out of the rest of Web Storage. We seem to have rough
consensus and strong multilateral implementor interest on
LocalStorage and SessionStorage, and they should be allowed to move
forward on the standards track quickly. SQL Storage remains
contentious, and only Apple and Google have shown strong
implementor interest so far. And it has no technical tie to the
other storage drafts. I also think Nikunj's proposal should be yet
a third separate orthogonal draft.
FWIW, Opera is implementing SQL storage too.
That's great news! Having multiple independent implementations will, I
hope, provide more reason to advance the spec.
However, I still think SQL storage should be split from LocalStorage/
SessionStorage, since there is no technical reason for them to be tied
together, and they enjoy different levels of consensus and implementor
support.
