It sounds like there wasn't any discussion on this. I recently heard
talk of other potential Storage areas [2]. That would make this idea
even more appealing to me. Does this sound like something worth
adding? Any comments?

The "storage" event [1] fires for both sessionStorage and
localStorage. To me, this means if you only want to interact with
localStorage you will have to manually ensure that it is the storage
area being modified:
window.addEventListener('storage', function(e) {
if ( e.storageArea === localStorage ) {
// ...
}
}
Was there any discussion about creating events specific to the
storage object, or should that already be possible? I've been
playing around with WebKit's Storage implementation, and the
following (understandably) is not possible:
> localStorage.addEventListener
undefined
Is there any way to listen to events for a single specific storage
area or is the previously mentioned approach preferred?
Cheers,
