The implication is twofold:

1. If widgets are to use one of these storage mechanisms, then we need to say what (instead of origin) the storage is scoped by, and how a widget acquires an instance.

2. As far as security policies are concerned, this suggests that we are acquiring an additional set of complexity earlier than I had thought.

Guido Grassel is reminding me that the HTML5 storage API keys off
origin. Thy means another wrinkle or the uri scheme/origin discussion.

Note that only the instantiations of storage, through the localStorage and sessionStorage, are using origin. The storage interface itself does not, so I do not see any immediate consequences with regards to preferences or any uri scheme discussion.
