The interface names in IndexedDB (and to an extent, WebSQLDatabase)

"Database" interface (which is why I bring this up), but I'm
concerned that names like Cursor, Transaction, and Index (from
IndexedDB) are so generic that they're bound to conflict with other
specs down the road.
Note that all but 5 interfaces in the WebSQLDatabase spec are
prefixed with SQL (for example, SQLTransaction) which helps a lot.
It seems as though the remaining could also be prefixed by SQL to
solve the problem.
That will help.
I'm wondering if the majority of the IndexedDB interfaces should
also have some prefix (like IDB?) as well since many of its terms
are quite generic.
I am fine with the following renaming:
Database -> IndexedDatabase
Cursor -> IDBCursor
Transaction -> IDBTransaction
Index -> IDBIndex
