What's the priority for this?  Andrea is also planning to work on IDB in workers.

Once IDB is ported to workers, DataStore should "Just Work".

Since DataStore is implemented in JS, it actually will just *not* work ;-)

We need to come up with an action plan for this API.  If there are no magic solutions for making the JS implemented bindings to work in workers that I don't know of yet, can somebody please let me know about them?  Otherwise, it looks like we will need to reimplement DataStore in C++. :/

I believe we're going to discuss this in the DOM bindings meeting on Monday.
