The intended behaviour is to only run one statement per call.
Google's open source WSPL library
(http://code.google.com/p/webstorageportabilitylayer/) provides a
wrapper for the HTML5 database functions that can execute multiple
statements with a single call. (The OSS version of the library has
several unfinished bugs but this feature works.)
