The "API" for developers to enable it will not be a javascript API. It will be a native app API (since that's what we're talking about here - Native apps using WKWebView)

WebKit has no intention of removing WebSQL.

Just because other vendors were not interested in implementing it due to the inherent reliance on SQLite does not mean we plan on removing our implementation.
