HTML5 implies browser specific localstorage whereas I really meant
simply interacting with web based (LAMP-like) systems, or any other
application. In particular, I have an embedded device with lighttpd
and PHP in plain CGI mode with various apps all using Sqlite3 dbs
(very low memory use) and I'd like to enable local QML gui apps to
read/write to the same databases, with suitable SQL locking.

ATM I have to create dummy databases in...

~/.local/share/data/Nokia/QtQmlViewer/QML/OfflineStorage/Databases/*

and use a clumsy shell script to find the right ones and symlink them
to the "real" databases used by the various web apps.
