Comment 1 Justin Novosad 2013-07-17 02:04:57 UTC 
Not sure whether this needs to be clarified in the IDL, but creteImageBitmap called from a worker can only accept the kinds of image sources that are allowed in workers.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-04-10 22:20:00 UTC 
Isn't this just implicit from the fact that e.g. HTMLImageElement isn't [Exposed] in workers so you couldn't possibly get hold of one to pass in?
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-04-10 22:21:07 UTC 
heycam: this is an example of where someone might want differently [Expose]d overloads just for its expository value.
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-04-29 23:07:29 UTC 
heycam, I'm reassigning this to you since I can't do it without WebIDL support. Please reassign to me if you decide to support this. If you decide not to, just WONTFIX the bug. Thanks!
Comment 5 Anne 2014-04-30 12:24:11 UTC 
I think this should be WONTFIX. We don't need this for XMLHttpRequest.prototype.send either.
Comment 6 Anne 2016-03-06 06:59:58 UTC 
IDL makes this work as-is.
