My understanding is that the total quota of storage.local (about 5 MB?) is shared among all extensions, so potentially in case one extension eats up 5MB, I won't be able to store my data. Is that correct? Also, since the storage API includes .clear() my understanding is that the scope is per extension and there is no need to namespace the settings, correct? (otherwise you would be able to clear storage area belonging to other extensions)
