We're going to want to add worker bindings for canvas (both 2D and WebGL). Over time I expect we'll want worker versions of almost every popular DOM API that doesn't actually require content/layout. We need to be able to share code between worker and main-thread implementations as much as possible. Right now a major blocker for that is that main-thread DOM APIs require cycle collection and workers can't use cycle collection. So, what are the prospects for supporting cycle collection in workers? (I'm talking about independent cycle collectors for each thread, not any kind of cross-thread CC.)
