html5 localstorage accessiblity

In html5 if I create an new local storage key called mykey from a website www.a.com, will I be able to access mykey from another site, say www.b.com ?
                                                     Can any website access the key/value pairs created by other website? Please explain in detail. Even links will do fine.
I created two jsp files both of them using the same local storage and deployed them in jboss as different files. Now both the domains i.e localhost:8080/store1/local_storage.jsp and localhost:8080/store2/local_storage1.jsp are able to access the same key/value pair. How is that possible?

No.

Just like cookies are these objects only accessible from the domain that created them, for security reasons.

If you want to pass data from one domain to another I can recommend a form that posts to another site or put the data in a query string :)
