Folks -

I've attached a testcase that shows that localStorage, as its currently
implemented, is not working for pages loaded from file:// URLs or from a local
web server (i.e. 'localhost').

I filed a comment on this Mozilla bug (comment #9) wherein I note that the
HTML5 specification has the concept of a 'file://' origin - therefore this
feature should work for these kinds of origins too.

No idea why 'http://localhost' is failing.

Obviously, the way to run this testcase is to bring the page up, set the value,
verify that the value is set, quit your browser, restart and click the button
to show the value.

Thanks!!

Cheers,

- Bill
