I am not quite sure, why the WorkerGlobalScope should be readonly anyways. Is this to prevent the code from "accidently" overwriting the self object? Or is there any security concern? 86094 3 ian 2013-04-12 22:40:30 +0000 What do you mean by "readonly"? Can you give an example of the code you wish to write that you can't write?
