I am glad to see this after having brought this up last year at TPAC. I support this.

CfC: to publish Web SQL Database as a Working Group Note; deadline November 13
During WebApps's November 1 gathering, participants discussed the Web SQL Database spec: http://www.w3.org/2010/11/01-webapps-minutes.html#item09 As we know, this spec is at an impasse as noted in the Status section: [[ http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/#status-of-this-document This specification has reached an impasse: all interested implementors have used the same SQL backend (Sqlite), but we need multiple independent implementations to proceed along a standardisation path. Until another implementor is interested in implementing this spec, the description of the SQL dialect has been left as simply a reference to Sqlite, which isn't acceptable for a standard. Should you be an implementor interested in implementing an independent SQL backend, please contact the editor so that he can write a specification for the dialect, thus allowing this specification to move forward. ]] As such, participants in the discussions suggested the spec be published as a Working Group Note and this is Call for Consensus to do. *Note Well: by publishing a Working Group Note, the group sends a signal to the community that work on this spec has ended* as described in the Process Document: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#q75 As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and encouraged and silence will be assumed to be assent.
