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

[zhao Matt]

Thanks.
I know 'Web Storage' is a separate specification now, :)

I just want to know the motivation behind it , so  editors(e.g. Ian) '
design ideas can better  be understood . They must have some reasons to make
the decision.
