I'm not sure what it means when you say:
a.. URLs: Workers should be spawned from URLs, not from strings, since
script rarely has access to its own source.
could you elucidate a bit more? Doesn't JavaScript usually have access to
its own source? I'm not sure when it doesn't. and isn't JavaScript still the
primary client side scripting vehicle in HTML5?

Subject: [whatwg] Workers
Based on popular demand (and threats that without a spec implementations
would proceed regardless) I have started collecting use cases and
requirements for a specification for background worker scripts ("threads")
in JavaScript:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/#requirements
Any feedback would be greately appreciated, especially from authors
involved in large Web applications who would make significant use of such
a feature, and from implementors of browsers that may support this.
