The lack of access to LocalStorage in 'workers' forces developers to use the more difficult database api for all storage needs, and to roll their own change event mechanisms (based on postMessage). Thats a bunch of busy work if a name/value pair schema is all your app really needs.</span></font></div>

To be clear, I'm not trying to reopen the topic of giving cookie access to workers - I'm happy to restrict cookie access to document context (I probably shouldn't have brought it up again).</blockquote><div><br>
</div></div><div>And to be clear: I don't have strong opinions about cookies being accessible in Workers, but I do think localStorage needs to be accessible. That said, my primary goal here is to make the storage mutex more reasonable (i.e. something vendors will actually implement). Shared worker access would be a plus, though.</div>
