I'm not sure. If you were doing your own application you'd be limited by free space on the device and to some extent in memory footprint (as Bryan McLemore points out).

However since you're looking at using JavaScript inside of Safari there's no easy way to tell. According to the document you found it looks like it may be limited by site, but there's nothing telling you how much. I'd suggest writing a quick script to fill up the database and figure out how much it actually is. After that, I'd probably halve that value and assume I'd be always be able to use that much.

Be sure to report back so we'll all know!
