This has come up a couple times with developers and I think being able to
do:
<script type="worker" id="taskQueue">
...
</script>
and then being able to access the worker to post message it by id would be
extremely useful.
document.getElementById('taskQueue').worker.postMessage(...);
Forcing the code into a separate file or requiring a data URL is annoying.
