Chrome is already using LevelDB as the backend for IndexdedDB. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2526263 Which of your points does Chrome's implementation not satisfy?

Have you compared raw LevelDB performance against IndexedDB in Chrome?

IDB in Chrome may have LevelDB somewhere underneath but it lacks points 9,10,11,12. As far as I know it does not yet have true MVCC, no real concurrency for multiple readers and writers. Single-transaction-at-a-time. Readers block readers.
