This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Based on the mailing list discussion, it was generally agreed that we could rename the "remove" method on the object store API back to it's original name of "delete". This was originally renamed due to EcmaScript reserved word concern, but since all implementations are targeting EcmaScript 5, and "delete" is contextually unreserved in ES5, the use of "delete" is perfectly fine, and the most clear word for the action of the method.
Checked in a fix. http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/IndexedDB/rev/4ee18f9b25cf
