Web Databases and Local Storage

The HTML5 spec includes local storage for data. There are three persistence options.

Session Store
Local Store
Web Database

The session and local store are very easy to access and store data in. The Web Database is much more complex and the spec does not currently define a SQL Dialect, though Safari and Mobile Safari are using SQLite3 (I believe).
