2 is probably your best option. Just use attachments. /db/doc/index.html better yet, if possible: host the static files for the SPA yourself, use the HTML appcache so the files will be avaliable for the users even when offline, then let the users input their own CouchDB URL/passwords in the app. store all this relevant data client-side, on localStorage, and let this hosted SPA connect to their local CouchDBs.
