[whatwg] Workers and queue of events

[Dmitry Titov]

Ok, it makes sense for OOM to treat it as other OOM cases.
If I may ask your opinion about related thing: SharedWorkers potentially
would run cross-process. IPC can stop/stuck for many reasons, taret process
can die in the midflight (killed by the user from TaskManager for example).
I guess in this case Worker.postMessage() could still just return as if
everything is ok, but nothing would happen. Is it the right behavior?
