I believe I said I would file a proper bug report for it. How about this for a solution for the localStorage mutex problem: "the user agent MAY release the storage mutex on *any* API operation except localStorage itself" This guarantees that the common case of "several storage operations in a row with nothing in-between" works, but gives the implementors the freedom to release the storage mutex wherever else they find they need to. I ran this by a few people at the W3C tpac (where I am now) and everyone I talked to seemed to think this would work. -Rob 29742 1 ian 2009-11-25 23:54:13 +0000 Implementors on the WHATWG list didn't seem happy with this unfortunately.
