This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to publish a Last Call Working

4. Web Storage

5. Web Workers

This CfC satisfies the group's requirement to "record the group's
decision to request advancement" to LCWD. Note that as specified in
the Process Document [PD], a Working Group's Last Call announcement
is a signal that:
Opera is not convinced that webdatabase is sufficiently clear and
supported to be a last call draft. However we support the publication
of the other drafts mentioned as last call working drafts.
My personal position is the same as the above. While I support all the
other specifications proceeding to LC, I think that more work needs to
be done in order for webdatabase to proceed to the next step. Punting
to a particular implementation (in this case, a version of SQLite) as a
normative part of a specification is unprecedented in standards that
this WG has released.
