Hi,

In Opera Extensions we use something that resembles shared workers. One modification is that the 'connect' event's source port is exposed in .source instead of in .ports[0], to make it closer to the API for cross-document messaging. Maybe we should make this change to Shared Workers as well.

I think shared workers hasn't seen wide adoption yet, so maybe changes like this are still possible.

What do people think?

currently:
onconnect = function(e) { e.ports[0].postMessage('pong') }

proposed change:
onconnect = function(e) { e.source.postMessage('pong') }
