A sophisticated storage method that takes advantage of, but does not require, browser-specific support? Sounds pretty great, but I think they could have some more gradation in their fallbacks:

- Between 'DOM storage' and 'non-permanent storage', it would be nice if there were an intermediate implementation based on cookies or something. - It would be nice if the SingleThreadedMapReducer used called setTimeout to simulate the "does not stall UI thread" behaviour of Web Workers.
