Re: [whatwg/dom] `AbortSignal.timeout()` may not abort past the timeout while performing synchronous work (Issue #1461)

juner left a comment (whatwg/dom#1461)

@nstepien
As per the current spec you quoted, the abort steps are queued as a task. This means that as long as synchronous code keeps running without yielding, the task never gets a chance to run, and `signal.aborted` remains `false`.

Are you suggesting that `AbortSignal.timeout()` should update the `aborted` flag from outside the task queue (e.g. in parallel), so that it can be observed even during long-running synchronous execution?
