[whatwg] Storage Events for a Specific Storage Area

The "storage" event [1] fires for both sessionStorage and
localStorage. To me, this means if you only want to interact with
localStorage you will have to manually ensure that it is the storage
area being modified:
window.addEventListener('storage', function(e) {
if ( e.storageArea === localStorage ) {
// ...
}
}
Was there any discussion about creating events specific to the storage
object, or should that already be possible? I've been playing around
with WebKit's Storage implementation, and the following
(understandably) is not possible:
> localStorage.addEventListener
undefined
Is there any way to listen to events for a single specific storage
area or is the previously mentioned approach preferred?
Cheers,
Joe
