Re: [whatwg/dom] Abort controller design (#438)

@Jxck https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/6484#issuecomment-315775251 may help. Developers wanted to separate the ability to abort from the ability to react to a signal to abort.

It also simplifies the design & avoids race conditions. Imagine a signal that can also change priority. If you've posted that to a worker, you now have two threads that can change the priority.
