Since this API is about a transactional database, it is better to call
it a database instead of storage. Storage also means that there is no
automated index maintenance since it is only about storage and not
about arrangement of records or their indexing.

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.
