Given the lack of support for stopping work on Web Storage [1], I'd let
to get consensus on the plan to move it to Last Call Working Draft.
Currently there are two open bugs:
1. Bug 12111: "spec for Storage object getItem(key) method does not
match implementation behavior". PLH created a version of the spec that
addresses this bug [12111-fix].
2. Bug 13020: "No user agent will implement the storage mutex so this
passage does not reflect reality".
There are different opinions on the priority of Web Storage ...
* Web Storage is a low priority and the Editor will get to it when he
gets to it
* Web Storage is a high priority because the lack of a LCWD will block
at least the Widget Interface spec from progressing on the Rec track
There are various options on what to do next, including:
1. Fix 12111 and 13020 and move Web Storage to LCWD
2. Leave Web Storage as is and eventually implementations will match the
spec
3. Do #1 in one version of the spec and keep #2 as a separate version of
the spec (e.g. L1 and L2).
Comments on these options are welcome.
If you prefer #1, please indicate if you are willing to create a
fix/patch for bug 13020.
