W3C Proposed Recommendation: Web Storage
The Web Apps Working Group at W3C has published a Proposed Recommendation, Web Storage (the stage before W3C's final stage, Recommendation): http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/PR-webstorage-20130409/ There's a call for review to W3C member companies (of which Mozilla is one) open until Tuesday, May 7. If there are comments you think Mozilla should send as part of the review, or if you think Mozilla should voice support or opposition to the specification, please say so in this thread. (I'd note, however, that there have been many previous opportunities to make comments, so it's somewhat bad form to bring up fundamental issues for the first time at this stage.) -David -- 𝄞 L.

W3C Proposed Recommendation: Web Storage (Second Edition)
A W3C Proposed Recommendation is available for the membership of W3C (including Mozilla) to vote on, before they proceed to the final stage of being W3C Recomendation: Web Storage (Second Edition) http://www.w3.org/TR/webstorage/ deadline: January 8, 2016 (Friday!) This specification is derived from an upstream WHATWG specification. If there are comments you think Mozilla should send as part of the review, or if you think Mozilla should voice support or opposition to the specification, please say so in this thread. (I'd note, however, that there have been many previous opportunities to make comments, so it's somewhat bad form to bring up fundamental issues for the first time at this stage.) (Sorry, should have sent these out a bit sooner.) -David -- 𝄞 L.

Could you give a brief explanation of what the storage mutex is, and why it was/should be removed? -David -- 𝄞 L.
