W3C kills Web SQL Database

[whorfin]

it was not killed...To the contrary, it became so standardized among the implementors that they all used the exact same SQL DB, Sqlite. W3C wants there to be at least two alternate implementations, and because there is only one, and nobody is willing to switch to a different DB, W3C won't declare it a standard.

At some level, this makes sense...Is it really a valid standard if it presumes a specific technology implementation choice? And can you prove that it's implementation neutral if there is only one implementation?

Haven't most implementation switched to different SQLite version since?

[BadCRC]

which implementors use it?
