ServiceWorker "Modal Window"

Hi Adrian & WG,

What is the current state of this proposal?
https://github.com/adrianhopebailie/modal-window/blob/master/explainer.md

Years ago, I suggested that we need a "mechanism" to deal with "breaking" SOP in a more universal way where an application served as a "moderator".  The Modal Window could be that solution for "pure" Web applications (for Web2Native applications, PaymentRequest as implemented in Android[*] is a pretty good "emulation" of what I once requested).

This could have a huge number of quite different applications so it doesn't seem to be a suitable work items for the Payment WG.  BTW, I don't see how you actually could restrict the Modal Window feature to only work with payment applications (unless the Window UI is cast in stone which would be very bad).  My use of PaymentRequest for Android seems to support that statement.

Thanx,
Anders
