The DOMWindow functions should be usable by the V8 version.

So the design here is to silently do nothing if there is a violation?

Do we want to have a contentSecurityPolicy for workers too, longer term?

Yep!

Normall these functions return a non-zero value upon success (the ID to use to cancel the timeout).  In this patch, we're returning undefined, which isn't really a silent failure.  Another option is to throw an exception.  I'll update the implementation to match whatever the working group decides.

We could, although the use cases aren't very compelling.  CSP is mostly about blocking XSS and it's pretty hard to XSS yourself in a worker (although it can be done).

If we want to do that, we'll move the ContentSecurityPolicy object onto ScriptExecutionContext from Document.

Thanks for the review!

Returning null or 0 are other options.

Yep.  Do you have a preference among these options?  The behavior is far from set in stone at this point.

I don’t have a preference.

For a special value, null seems a good choice. The undefined value seems like more of a special artifact so probably less good than null. Returning the number 0 seems a language-independent choice, since the function returns an integer in the other cases. An exception also seems OK.

I fixed this in another patch.
