I've got Safari (5.1.10) > Prefs > Advanced > Database storage set to "None allowed before asking", and although not every website that places a doc in /Users/artie/Library/Safari/LocalStorage asks, what I almost invariably find there is an 8 KB doc that looks more or less like this:

Quote:
SQLite format 3@ 
¸¢¢üÅz!11ÉtableItemTableItemTableCREATE TABLE ItemTable (key TEXT UNIQUE ON CONFLICT REPLACE, value TEXT NOT NULL ON CONFLICT FAIL)[!}1indexsqlite_autoindex_ItemTable_1ItemTable
ÁÁ-jStorage{}
ÃŽÃŽ-jStorage

The exceptions I've noted are the docs placed by Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation, which weigh in at 500-600 KB and look like this and this, respectively (truncated for posting purposes...full text available by request).

Can anybody read those docs and tell me whether the Wiki organizations are somehow subverting my pref, or am I just getting paranoid over perfectly acceptable website behavior?

Thanks.
