[html5] Web Workers: terminate() and XMLHttpRequest

[Dmitry Titov]

What is "closed properly"? As far as implementation goes, Chromium for
example will drop the request at some point, asynchronously but quite close
to termination and discard any results, so it can be at any phase of
completion. A mechanism with more guarantees would definitely require an
explicit  spec language.
