We already have an instance property named "referrer source", which is a somewhat obscure name but does reference the document. Can we just re-name "referrer source" => "associated document" or something, and set it in constructor, then use it for the "not fully active" check etc in open() ? No, see below. > (Naming it "referrer source" re-uses terminology from CORS or Workers? I believe it will always refer to a document - in "web worker mode" the document associated with the script - and we can say "use associated document as *override referrer source* when referencing CORS algorithm. IMO this is easier to understand in the context of this spec.) Referrer source is from HTML and can be a URL. I prefer to keep that name consistent throughout all specifications. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
