   <p>Run the following <a>in parallel</a>:
 
-  <p><a for=/>Fetch</a> <var>request</var>.
+  <p><a for=/>Fetch</a> <var>request</var> and let <var>ongoingFetch</var> be the ongoing fetch.

That sort-of seems to be how it's spec'd already, but using language "if fetch is terminated". I agree a flag would be better.

The bit I'm struggling with is that the signal abort steps are main thread, but the *ongoingFetch* is created in the "in parallel" steps.

Maybe the answer is to find a way to initiate the ongoing fetch on the main thread (which would have the terminated flag), then start the actual fetching in the "in parallel" bit.
