The WebKit project has documented it here, and in source code.

If you mean for Apple to document the behavior as seen in products Apple ships, you'll need to file a bug at developer.apple.com

I'm actually not clear on what part of the spec we're violating. Could you clarify?

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webstorage.html#the-localstorage-attribute states:

> User agents should expire data from the local storage areas only for security reasons or when requested to do so by the user. User agents should always avoid deleting data while a script that could access that data is running.

We "expire data from the local storage area," both "for security reasons" and as "requested to do so by the user" once any script that could access the data can no longer access it.
