This is painful to read. WebSQL development died because SQLite, the most
widely-deployed database software in the world, was too good? That sounds like
a catastrophic failure of the W3C process.

Hear.
I am starting to think that Mozilla will step up and provide an embedding of
SQLite, even if it has to only think of it as such. It will have to.
People would rather use a working database than something crippled albeit
"specced" (see LocalStorage or IndexedDB).
It was things like XHR in all their unspecced glory that brought the web to
where it is today.
Joran - as one of the moderators of public-webapps, I find your comments
above offensive to those that work on the specs you mention.
All - this is a reminder that all e-mails on this list are expected to
