My question was not clear - I was inquiring about the term "property
enumeration" and not "storage mutex". Similarly, I also wanted to know
the meaning of "checking the presence of a property".
Thanks,

There is a requirement to obtain the storage mutex prior to
performing
Storage interface operations on the localStorage DOM attribute.
Section 3.4 asks for obtaining the storage mutex during property
enumeration, although this term is not used anywhere else in the
document.
Similarly, it is not clear what is meant by "when checking for the
presence
of a property" that is any different from the getItem() method.
The terms "storage mutex" and "obtain storage mutex" are defined
in the HTML5 draft:
