Description Jeremy Orlow 2010-08-09 12:10:24 UTC 
When opening a database, one of the parameters is description.  If you specify it, that description is set on the database, no matter what the previous description was.  There's also a "description" attribute on IDBDatabase(+ Sync).  Since IndexedDB is usable by workers (and other pages' event loops, in some implementations) this presents a problem with run to completion.  The easiest solution is to spec IDBDatabase(Sync).description to be the description you passed in to .open (and not a live value).

I believe this is the only synchronous attribute with such a problem.

Er..I meant to say "whatever the description was at the time of opening" not just whatever you passed in.

But that seems to be what you changed it to anyway...so perfect.  :-)
