Is there any way a Google Chrome extension can increase local storage space?

Question

I think HTML5 local storage can store a maximum of 5MB per domain. Can a Google Chrome extension specify a domain for an increase in storage?

You can only request unlimited space for extension's storage in the manifest, storages that belong to other domains cannot be changed:

"permissions": [
  "unlimitedStorage"
],

Afaik the unlimitedStorage permission doesn't apply to localStorage, only websql and app cache. Google devs say that localStorage doesn't scale well enough to make it work - http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=58985 – Drew Shafer Aug 24 '12 at 23:19
