Do we have a link to the spec?

I added coverage of the basic syntax to 

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IDBFactory.open
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IDBFactory.deleteDatabase

let me know if this looks ok.

Looks good to me.
You could also add full WebIDL specification of the non-standard feature:

enum StorageType { "persistent", "temporary" };

dictionary IDBOpenDBOptions
{
  [EnforceRange] unsigned long long version;
  StorageType storage;
};

IDBOpenDBRequest open (DOMString name, optional IDBOpenDBOptions options);

IDBOpenDBRequest deleteDatabase (DOMString name, optional IDBOpenDBOptions options);

There's no spec for that yet. It will be part of IndexedDB v2.
Here's a public-webapps thread about temp storage:

I've updated the above two pages to include suggested syntax details, plus a note on what "temporary" actually means.
