We've also talked about this in the other recent related thread. As Vats are current specified (the ES6 spec essentially describes a single Vat), the host is responsible for making Job scheduling decisions for each Vat. This means that a host that is managing multiple Vats could impose a synchronous scheduling policy that spans multiple Vats. This seems like it may be sufficient to describe browsers behavior.
