how about "Indexed Sequential Web Database", losing the acronym, even if familiar to those who work with databases? (not web-indexed, however...)

I agree with Mike, but I'd also note that "Web Key-Value Database" could
easily be confused with WebStorage given that it also uses a Key-Value
model.

True but we know the distinction is that Web Storage does not use
a database.


Do we make naming decisions considering just us WG members as its audience or that of the general public? I think the general public is well within its rights to treat Web Storage as a persistence technology that seems to be like "Key-Value" database.

I want to emphasize here that I think "key-value" in the title misses the subtlety - it is the use of index sequential access that is at the heart of WebSimpleDB, and not key-value storage.
