Section 4.10 has 2 details I'd like clarification on, that I think will probably result in changes to the spec.

1 - The entire section describes the StorageEvent interface, and specifies where StorageEvents should be fired when setItem() is called on any Storage object. I asked the mailing list last week and am now reiterating the question: Shouldn't this event fire for removeItem() as well? Hixie seemed to agree in IRC that it should, but I'd love to "see it in writing" ;)

2 - There is no mention of an "onstorage" attribute one can set on their <body> element. With this omission, it seems that the only way to actually listen for a storage event is to perform an addEventListener on the body. The technical docs for the IE8 beta indicate they support onstorage, and I tend to think it should be an official part of the spec.

Thoughts?
