This allows a ServiceWorker to open a window in reaction to particular interaction events, of which is currently only notificationclick. Currently I'm having to duplicate step 12 of https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#dom-open, can this be abstracted out to avoid duplication? The ServiceWorker can open pages from any origin (although it may not control the loading of it), so opening "about:blank" is allowed unless we specifically disallow it. 122954 1 annevk 2015-09-01 08:56:02 +0000 Jake, if you could, a PR with some additional context would be appreciated. 128746 2 annevk 2017-07-21 10:43:34 +0000 Closing per IRC discussion. Jake will create a PR when the need comes up.
