running wep apps myself, I put detailed (vs global) security issues at the page level. since almost all web sql uses global, not individual logins, due to the cost of session management (or lack of db sophistication), there would need to be an expensive (performance and development) security layer between the page and the data. the base idea is great, but for me greasemonkey is the way my users would need to go. perhaps on the page I could send a lot of data in hidden or display:none block that they could in turn enable / disable / rearrange / whatever. end users (in my case at the company level) customizing their pages is a very exciting idea - well beyond my standard offering of customized menus and css properties.

greasemonkey Posted Nov 30, 2007 9:22 UTC (Fri) by phip (subscriber, #1715) [Link] I have very limited experience with greasemonkey (actually, only the fancyLWNComments script: http://lwn.net/Articles/249618/). The script is awesome, but it is a real pain when reading LWN from multiple computers. It would be really cool if I could store the script and associated state somewhere on an LWN server, so that it is automatically downloaded and executed on my computer whenever I login to LWN. Extra credit if it can be made to work without installing greasemonkey on the computer I'm surfing from. This could give a fairly big chunk of what Forkolator is trying to achieve, without executing user code on the servers.
