Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Safety versus simplicity in specification tests (#1087)

Thanks for the input, everyone! Although Shared Workers do seem like a good fit here, I think their current availability makes them a non-starter as a solution for now. [Neither Edge nor Safari currently implement Shared Web Workers](http://caniuse.com/#search=shared%20web%20workers). Since they are currently working on their initial service worker implementation, they may have the most to gain from the Web Platform Tests. I'd hate to commit to an approach that shuts them out.

That's why I've proposed a mitigation technique that relies on IndexedDB, see: https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/5206. As noted there, I only implemented the solution for a handful of tests because I'd like to get feedback before starting work on a complete fix. So please let me know what you
think!
