Re: Refactoring SharedWorkers out of Web Workers W3C spec

We at Mozilla just finished our implementation of Shared Workers. It
will be turned on in the nightly releases starting tomorrow (or maybe
thursday) and will hit release on April 29th.

So if we are only reason we're doing anything here is lack of a 2nd
implementation, then we might already be good.

That said, I don't know what the test suite status is etc, so I'm
totally fine with punting Shared Workers for now.

However I'd really like to see us start a level 2 of the spec. The
synchronous messaging channels is something else I'd like to see done
there.
