Chrome Developer comments
--------------------------
This is happening because docs tries to create a cross-origin worker, but
that worker
is not served with the correct content-type. The URL is
"https://www.google.com/a/google.com/OfflineWorkerJS?service=writely";
BTW, this was difficult to track down because the way we report global
errors in
Chrome is to invoke window.onerror, which we leave up to the app to
define. In this
case, it wasn't defined, so the error message wasn't reported.
