In our system when a widget is instantiated we generate our own
instance hashes which we append to the widget URL as a parameter, and
our Storage implementation uses this parameter when it needs to make a
request back to our prefs web service to load preferences, or to set a
preference.
I imagine any UA would put a similar mechanism in place in its Storage
implementation to sandbox the preferences for widget instances; does
that need to be specified?

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.
