I chatted with @domenic on IRC about the event and it was clarified to me that the primary purpose of the signal event is as a request to JavaScript-implemented signal consumers to please cancel yourself. The event is not necessarily useful for those using the `fetch()` API, so the scenario above is invalid. We could clarify the purpose of the event by renaming it to "abortrequest" or some such. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
