Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Extended lifetime shared workers (Issue #1089)

That's fair; I'm willing to take your word that it's more expensive to implement this.  I would like to understand it though.  Domenic seemed to claim that the proposal would be nothing more than syntactic sugar over the proposal; now I'm hearing that it would be vastly more expensive to implement.  I can't reconcile those two statements.

FWIW, I wouldn't consider this an obligation to run any more than "pagehide" event delivery is [reliable](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/pagehide_event#:~:text=this%20event%20is%20not%20reliably%20fired%20by%20browsers).  In that sense, implementing the proposal as something like a sugared version of the original proposal seems viable in that light.
