Use HTML5 localStorage and/or sessionStorage for P2P architecture

Could HTML5 localStorage and/or sessionStorage be used for future P2P architecture?
There are obviously per domain limitations of something like 5MB, but in which case(s) would this work?

 

Use HTML5 localStorage to cache security keys

Use localStorage to cache a "secure core" key that expires/renews after n days. Reduce login latency by caching encryption keys.

HTML5 uses of localStorage and sessionStorage

Looking for new ideas around how to use localStorage and sessionStorage. This is something really unique to HTML5.

NOTE: If you have a specific implementation reduced to practice in the form of software code, you might consider GPLing it first elsewhere, and then linking to it from here.

Disposable Tablet Phone

I want to create a tablet that also can be a fully functioning phone. It should cost so little to the consumer that it is "disposable", i.e., no hardware repair is considered reasonable. Also, no user info should be stored on the device - it should all live on an account in the cloud.
