Nikunj's link actually points to http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DataCache/
which is also interesting, but seemingly not what was intended.
Sorry about this problem. Got tripped by the mail editor there.
@Nikunj, I have not yet read thru your draft in detail, but will do
so.
Look forward to the feedback.
In principle, I agree with the notion of a standard that does not
depend on a particular sql dialect (or an assumed sql dialect) to
reap the rewards of structured storage, query, and retrieval.
The intention is to enable a far richer ecosystem of independent
implementations. Plus to take advantage of the ECMAScript environment
and avoid marshalling between result sets and JavaScript objects.
As I said, I haven't read it thru yet... have you addressed full
text indexing and search in some form? And if not, that would be a
feature request.
I am aware of full-text. If someone is willing to contribute
resources, I would be glad to work in this feature.

I have published the first draft of the WebSimpleDatabase API, which
is based on B-tree databases [1]. Here's a link to the draft:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebSimpleDatabase/
Abstract:
This document defines APIs for storing and retreving ordered
key-value pairs in a transactional database.
I would request feedback that we can incorporate before publication
as a working draft. Please note that certain items are purposely
under-specified at the moment. I want to gauge the potential
interest in this direction and evolve it to meet the needs of the WG.
