In fact is it deeply buried in the HTML5 specification, open to fuzzy interpretations. Values are a fundamental part of any database, this should deserve a clear description.

Check-in comment: Add references to HTML spec since structured clone is defined there. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5769&to=5770 44207 2 ian 2011-01-11 19:57:23 +0000 Web Storage and HTML are the same spec: http://whatwg.org/C They're just split out for W3C editorial purposes. Anyway, I've added references to the HTML spec from the Web Storage spec to resolve this. > open to fuzzy interpretations What is fuzzy about the structured clone spec? It should be pretty specific.
