I prefer to think of it as:

window.onload = function() {
     var worker = new Worker('encrypt.js');
     var workerPort = worker.connect();
     workerPort.onmessage = processWorkerReply;
}

function spawnEncryptData(id, data) {
    workerPort.postMessage("encrypt " + id + " " + data);
}

Aside from one time setup (which usually needs to be performed in  
advance), the "simple case" looks no different, but there is no  
confusion about which port to use.
