Description Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2008-09-10 00:19:47 UTC 
Should propagate uncaught exceptions from workers to their owner.
Should propagate uncaught errors from nested workers to the next owner.
Comment 1 Andrew Fedoniouk 2008-09-10 05:01:54 UTC 
What exactly means "propagate"?
The only feasible option is to send error message from worker to its owner. Or probably rise some event similar to "fire a simple event called error" [1]  
Otherwise it is not clear how and when to catch such an exception.
