Excellent.
So if we are only reason we're doing anything here is lack of a 2nd
implementation, then we might already be good.
The premise here appears to be that Presto doesn't count. Why?
Presto has been shipping shared workers for 3,5 years now (introduced in
Opera 10.60). As far as I can tell Presto-based Opera products match the
definition of "implementation" in the CR exit criteria.
That said, I don't know what the test suite status is etc, so I'm
totally fine with punting Shared Workers for now.
The test suite coverage is about the same between dedicated workers and
shared workers, I believe.
However I'd really like to see us start a level 2 of the spec. The
synchronous messaging channels is something else I'd like to see done
there.
