Hi, Nikunj-
I think Mike was overly blunt, but essentially correct in his
response, but I'd like to add a specific comment inline...

The Web Storage specification is someone dead-locked right now due

I don't buy this argument for an instant, and I'd be very surprised if
anyone in the WebApps WG did. This specification was published as
specified because it matched the behavior (more or less) of an
implementation (WebKit), and it's disingenuous to pretend that that
doesn't set a precedent for the future development of the specification.
This topic continues to be discussed in Mozilla newsgroups. Few are
reconciled to SQL usage:
Example:
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.community.web-standards/topics
Solutions such as BrowserCouch (which straddles localStorage currently)
offer other options: http://www.toolness.com/wp/?p=580
I'd personally rather see a clear articulation of use cases that we
agree are important for the web than further specification work.
