Art already asked this question a few weeks back [1]. Here is why we settled with the name SimpleDB (it is more than a placeholder) [2]:

It is simpler than SQL, which is the current basis for WebDatabase [3].

Please don't call your web database API "simple". It's a meaningless noise word unless there's some other non-simple web database API to compare it to. It doesn't even serve to produce a pronounceable acronym like SAX or SOAP. "WebDB API" would be fine.
