This makes me wonder if there is any positive experience using  
SharedWorkers for this elsewhere - or any better use cases for it.

At the moment, it seems that technical issues around shared workers's  
implementation in WebKit haven't all been resolved yet, and that  
GlobalObject could be a better replacement for the same use case  
anyway. Dropping one for another is in the spirit of successful  
experimentation - what do you think?
