+1 for Geolocation Joe's reasoning is convincing: when native functionality exceeds/matches what were providing, what's the point?
and a huge +1 for WebSQL, I believe W3C deprecated the spec in November 2011? 2010?! <http://www.w3.org/TR/webdatabase/> Being proactive about this and deprecating/removing our own support for this api now strikes me as a far better move than waiting for WebKits to break it. Not to mention the brittleness and exception issues Joe mentioned.
