Comment:
"This constructor must be visible when the script's global object is either a
Window object or an object implementing the WorkerGlobalScope interface." is
different language than what the worker spec has adopted, see e.g.

Nevermind, I now see the worker spec uses this language for e.g. SharedWorker.
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2013-04-10 08:43:25 UTC 
Well, actually, I don't understand why constructors use different language than interfaces. Shouldn't constructors also hook into WebIDL "expose"?
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-04-24 00:14:56 UTC 
I removed the language for constructors, it was redundant since constructors are just part of the interface object.
