Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2008-11-14 10:29:44 PST 
The existing MessagePort specification does not work with multiple threads or processes well, and doesn't appear to be easily fixable. Besides, Mozilla is about to ship an entirely different and much simpler API for workers.

Patch forthcoming.

I hope this reaches the point of testability soon so that we can document behavior changes like this with test case changes.
