I would like to see localStorage enhanced.

localStorage could easily be enhanced to meet the needs for an offline
database. A call such as localStorage(key, callback); should be available.
This would provide an instantly understandable way for developers to write
powerful offline storage solutions.

This could provide an intermediate solution between regular localStorage and
indexedDB.

While I agree, the last time I tried adding features to Web Storage the browser vendors pretty uniformly told me that they had no interest in adding new features to it and that IndexDB was the way forward.
