[w3c/ServiceWorker] Service worker expiration (#1480)

I was wondering if there is some spec about the expiration of a service-worker in the browser. If not this could result in the following problem :

Let's say I decide to create a website and cache all the content with a service-worker (except for the service-worker file) so that the website is available offline.

If someone buy the same domain name later and adds a website without a service-worker, the people that previously went on my website would never see the new website (unless they clear the service-worker by hand). What's more the new owner of the domain name would not even know about it

PS : I talked about this in #1366 but never got an answer
