method setItem(key, value)

Why don't you fix a third optional parameter to set the "duration" of the
key/value pair. 
If it is not set the key/value pair will not expire otherwise it will expire
as it is set in the 'duration' parameter.

Comment 2 Ms2ger 2011-08-06 13:11:15 UTC 
This sounds somewhat useful, but shouldn't be added unless there is strong implementer support, which I don't expect.
Comment 3 Arthur Barstow 2011-08-08 19:23:12 UTC 
Perhaps save this for the next version of the spec?
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-08 22:01:25 UTC 
Yeah, this is a thing for a future version. IIRC there's a note in the spec source talking about this kind of thing already, actually.
