We at Mozilla just finished our implementation of Shared Workers. It

Excellent.
Yes indeed!
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.
One of the issues here is `missing data`. The first Call for workers
Test Results was sent over a half-year ago and another one a few weeks
before WebApps' Shenzhen meeting. Despite those requests, the workers
implementation report [IR] remains empty.
Simon - would you please add results for Presto?
Kinuko - would you please add results for Chrome (as you said you would
do in Shenzhen [Mins])?
Travis - would you please add results for IE?
Another issue is that during the related discussion in Shenzhen, I don't
think this new info from Jonas was available. Jonas - can someone please
run the tests on FF Nightly (see [IR] or the test suite [Tests])?
Depending on the test results, it might make sense to (re)consider if it
still makes sense to create a spec of without shared workers.
