Neil to impl core storage system, jst to impl security/access/scoping. vlad to advise, shaver to cheerlead.

  • What subset?
    • no DOM object or JS object auto-serialization
    • jst to propose the removal of key enumeration to whatwg list (security reasons)
  • sessionStorage using in-memory hash or just another table?
    • vlad: no on-disk storage for security reasons?
    • shaver: what about session saver? (what does it do for session cookies?)
    • spec suggests persistence of session data in this case: 4.9.3
    • darin: cookies have the notion of session only, which is not persisted. the web cache has the concept of "no-store". this storage system needs something like that too. web apps should be given a way to restrict storage to in-memory only.
  • globalStorage using mozStorage, simple table
    • look at what history guys did for fast domain-based lookup?
