The "Upgrade Insecure Requests" specification[1] references the WHATWG HTML spec for the "set up a worker environment settings object" algorithm[2], as the Web Workers Candidate Recommendation from May 2012[3] substantially predates the entire concept of a "settings object", and because the WHATWG is the group where work on Workers seems to be being done.
This referential choice was flagged during a discussion of transitioning the Upgrade spec to CR, where it was noted that the Web Workers editor's draft from May 2014 does contain the referenced concept[4]. It seems appropriate, then, to bring the question to this group: does WebApps intend to update the Workers draft in TR? If so, is there a path forward to aligning the Workers document with the work that's happened over the last year and a half in WHATWG? Alternatively, does WebApps intend to drop work on Workers in favor of the WHATWG's document? It would be helpful if we could get some clarity here. :) Thanks!
