Description kinuko 2012-08-27 07:05:32 UTC 
Currently webapps cannot control when a flush/sync should be performed after writes, so that it's not really clear what data would be read right after writes.  The UA cannot make a good decision about when to flush/sync either.  The API should provide a way for webapps to make sure the data they've written are actually written to a persistent storage.

Work on this specification has stopped.
