[whatwg] Why is the feature "Web Storage" removed from HTML5 Spec?

[Ian Fette (イアンフェッティ)]

Many features are now in separate specifications / drafts, linked to in the
introduction you reference. It doesn't mean they're dead, indeed web storage
has been implemented by a number of browsers as have other features listed
there such as geolocation, websockets, etc. Don't read too much into it.
HTML5 is a single specification, it doesn't mean that it's the only
specification browsers support. For instance, all browsers support CSS - CSS
is not in the HTML5 specification, it's a distinct specification. There are
many logistical advantages etc, again, don't read too much into it.
