hi dylan

i am fairly new to the web-worker spec
could you or anyone else on this list enumerate the advantages of web-worker \
implementation of var server = new WebSocket('ws://whatwg.org/database');
server.onmessage = function (event) {
}
over classic http request/response to the same website?

Thanks!
Martin Gainty

have a question about Web Workers<br>&gt; <br>&gt; It seems like the spec \

about whether any documents are available in  <br>&gt; the GlobalWorkerScope.<br>&gt; \

"worker's Documents",but then goes on to say that the DOM API is not  <br>&gt; \
available to the Worker in this version of the spec.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; How does adding \
the document to the WorkerGlobalScope help if the DOM  <br>&gt; API is not \
available?<br>&gt; Doesn't this really reduce the usefulness of the Worker object by  \
<br>&gt; restricting it to tasks that have nothing to do with the DOM - e.g.  \
