Description Anne 2014-05-23 06:25:17 UTC 
Per HTML's fetching algorithm a particular fetch can be reused. Figure out if that's feasible in the context of SW (seems likely, it just gets one event rather than two) and then specify it.

Potential SW issues: https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/244

The other issue is how to define this. The Fetch algorithm queues tasks in given environment. However, if multiple fetches are shared that could involve multiple environments...

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1127429#c8 has a set of arguments against sharing. Simplest is probably to not allow this per the specification. Implementations are of course still free to find ways that go undetected.
