Great!  But, I think an editorial mistake in the updated spec page -
"The openDatabase() method returns a Database object. The method takes  
four arguments: a database name, a database version, a display name,  
and an estimated size, in bytes, of the data that will be stored in  
the database."
Second "database name" should be "database description", or even "user  
friendly database description"
