> This document was on the W3C Recommendation track but specification work has stopped. The specification reached an impasse: all interested implementors have used the same SQL backend (Sqlite), but we need multiple independent implementations to proceed along a standardisation path.

Why should Mozilla or Microsoft be responsible for writing an independent implementation of SQLite just so webSQL can be a standard.
