Agreed. This kind of capability is interesting but I can appreciate the
complexity.

Personally, I could imagine that some more experience and evolution of the
Service Worker is good to have before taking the next step towards also
exposing the Data Channel in a Service Worker-Œsh like worker. Personally,
I would also prefer to have the Œlow-level¹ API in place before taking
this step.
