Comment 1 Ehsan Akhgari [:ehsan] 2014-08-13 15:41:47 UTC 
Jake mentions that Window could also implement MessageUtils.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-08-18 20:46:42 UTC 
Window and Worker have radically different postMessage()s, I'm not sure it would make sense to reuse it that way.
Comment 3 Anne 2014-08-19 05:44:12 UTC 
Yeah, windows has an additional argument indeed, but for the others this would make sense. We could name it MessagePortUtils or MessageChannelUtils to avoid confusion perhaps.
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-09-16 22:08:56 UTC 
Discussing in https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/issues/410 .
Comment 5 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-09-19 23:49:25 UTC 
Marking WONTFIX based on the discussion in the issue mentioned in comment 0 and comment 4; please reopen if you disagree with my interpretation of that discussion.
