+1 to Axel. Cordova is incomplete without providing support for indexeddb and websql. I think most of the apps require local database. There are some frameworks which provide different level of implementations. But those implementations are usually designed for browsers and then enhanced for mobile support and so has several limitations like not working when the application is switched to background.
Cordova should have a uniform wrapper on top of indexeddb and websql to actually allow developers to create a cross platform apps, which is what Cordova promises.
