First of all I don't think that the local storage could be a suitable solution for caching, because it's funcionality only includes the possibility to save/retrieve/delete key/value pairs, but I don't know exactly what your purposes are.

About the compatibility I would say that the local storage of the android's WebView does not function very well, because it is not persistent across the different tabs/windows, so actually it becomes useless in my opinion. If you want to share the same data in multiple webviews the only way is to use a java database and a javascript interface. There is a implementation on github, which should be suitable for that.
