Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Should a SW client.id persists across Discards/Reloads of the same page? (#1263)

> I think Jake was pushing back (earlier in this thread) on preserving the last client-id across reloads

I think what @jakearchibald said was preserving the *same* client-id across reloads wouldn't match the existing behavior in terms of the lifecycle of global objects/environments.

> But if a page has access to the ID, it could push just that into the history, and then use it as part of a key into another storage mechanism before/after restore.

This sounds interesting. Is the idea something like:
 - A client stores its history state keyed by the `id`.
 - The client's tab is discarded and restored.
 - The restored client looks up the history state using `discardedClientId`.
