At the top of my comment, I should have said "spec suggests that if a user agent supports LocalStorage but LocalStorage is currently disabled, a security exception *COULD* be thrown."

Setting aside my arguments that WebKit is more than just about browsers and Maciejs objections regarding private browsing...  I don't see why this change is important.
