Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Inaccurate Abstract (#1493)

If I understood correctly, your point is that Service Worker is not for long running background tasks in general. Agree on that point. How about along the lines of this:

> This specification describes a method that enables applications to take advantage of event-driven processing off the main thread, which includes enabling bootstrapping of web applications while offline. The core of this system is an event-driven Web Worker, which responds to extensible events dispatched from documents and other sources.
> 
> Service Worker is a generic entry point for [extensible event](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#extendableevent) processing in the Web Platform.
> 
> This specification also provides a request and response store similar in design to the HTTP cache, which makes it easier to build offline-enabled web applications.
