I still don't understand what use local storage has outside of 'cloud

scope for this spec), there's no reason you can't sync user preferences
and such to the cloud.
The use case, though, is local storage, not cloud storage. Requiring
cloud storage here kind of defeats the purpose and makes the API a lot
harder to use.
Indeed. It would be nice to be able to write simple applications that do
not require the cloud at all and basically consist of a set of static
documents distributed over HTTP.
