<p>If nothing else the running script could act to reduce memory usage.</p>

I'm just talking about the bare minimum:<br>
sending a simple event window.dispatchEvent(lowmemory) <br>
No details / guarantees. It's just a hint.<br>

Mozilla has made efforts to handle low memory issues (allocation errors
or otherwise)<br>
mainly in the handling of image resources. I'd like to see the practice
become<br>
more widespread.<br>
