[w3c/ServiceWorker] Inaccurate Abstract (#1493)

"This specification describes a method that enables applications to take advantage of persistent background processing, including hooks to enable bootstrapping of web applications while offline."

It mentions "background" a few more times, but I think in practice they're not so much for background processing as this might make it seem.

I think it'd be better to describe it as being able to handle specific type of events in parallel to the main application, including potentially when the main application is not running. And that last bit only has some agreement for push thus far in practice, which is still visible to the user in some manner as I understand it.
