Your concept of "full" is a little different to mine. 

Looking at it, you could extend the technnology to store the data files anywhere on the 
internet in exactly the same way.  It's just a bunch of files stored somewhere which the 
application has to manage- no BE engine involved. 

If you want" a full database that runs anywhere there is browser netwrok/web services", there 
are plenty of mySQL and SQL Server systems out there which do exactly that and they have 
been around for years.
