Perhaps the new globalStorage object should be renamed while making  
this change?  This will let us deprecate globalStorage a bit more  
gracefully (clients checking for its existence won't get an object  
that behaves differently than expected).

Perhaps "localStorage"?

That still won't help users of StorageItem.value, but it might be  
useful anyway.
