Michal, 
I am sorry but I insist! WebSQL where stored in Library before iOS5.1 (this directory was backup by iTunes then iCloud). After iOS 5.1 Apple did the mistake to store the WebSQL files in the Cache folder, but phonegap made a fix to backup in the Document folder (again this folder is backup by iTunes and iCloud). And also Apple realize that it was a mistake that's why the introduce the "Do not back up" attribute for apps that do not need backups.
And yes, WebSQL is mostly used to store user generated data, so it needs backup. If you broke that, users will lost their precious data again.
And it's not possible to switch easily from WebSQL to FileSystem, WebSQL use complex SQL request...

> our App uses the Sotrage-API to store data which is being loaded upon first launch. 
> The app is rejected given the following reasoning:
> 'Your app does not follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.
> Please be sure to set the "Do not back up" attribute for all data which is not generated or modified by the user. To check how much data your app is storing:
> - Install and launch your app
> - Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage
> - If necessary, select "Show all apps"
> - Check your app's storage
> The iOS Data Storage Guidelines indicate that only content that the user creates using your app, (documents, new files, edits, etc.) may be stored in the /Documents directory - and backed up to iCloud.
> Temporary files used by your app should only be stored in the /tmp directory. Please remember to delete the files stored in this location when the user exits the app.
> Data that can be recreated but must persist for proper functioning of your app or because customers expect it to be available for offline use should be appended with the "do not back up" attribute. For NSURL objects, add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to prevent the corresponding file from being backed up. For CFURLRef objects, use the corresponding kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute.
> For more information, please see Technical Q&A 1719: How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?.
> Please revise your app so that it adheres to the iOS Data Storage Guidelines.'
> Is there a possibility to set this flag for the WebSQL Database file(s)?
> At least for us this is a blocker ...
