        <pre>If I want to open the storage (IndexedDB or WebSQL) from an embedded iframe (the origin differs), it throws an error:
SecurityError: DOM Exception 18: IDBFactory.open() called in an invalid security context

Also the localStorage is buggy in the cross-origin usecase. It's affected by the parent domain while it shouldn't be context (parent origin) aware.

Both APIs are violating the specs and they work in the other browsers (Chrome, IE, FF).

All the storage specs require exactly one &quot;storage space&quot; per origin. Zero (IndexedDB and WebSQL) and multiple (localStorage has one space per parent origin) are not allowed.</pre>
