Can you confirm, are you referring to Web Storage[1] or Offline
Resources[2]? Web Storage is really just cookies on steroids and
probably isn't what you're after to store large amounts of binary data.
Offline Resources may be up to it, it's not clear to me what the
limits are and I can't find any definitive documentation anywhere, but
it's a whole different approach[3].
