Thanks. I'd like to hear opinions from others too.

BTW, Anne, as the fetch() is planned to be available in non-ServiceWorker
scopes, could you please do either of:
a) discuss issues about fetch() at public-webapps@
b) add a link to https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/labels/fetch
in http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/ as well as the link to public-webapps@

I guess you don't want to do (a). (b) is fine. Then, readers of
http://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/ can easily know that discussions about
fetch() are happening at the ServiceWorker issue tracker even if he/she is
not familiar with ServiceWorker, and join it if want.
