As an example/test I recoded the HTML outline plugin as a web worker. This plugin installs fine, and the outline options show up in the editor. But when I try to switch to their outline nothing happens. There is nothing in the console, etc...

The identical plugin script coded as an HTML plugin works fine:

Worker plugins must have the same origin as the embedding page. e.g. They're not like our html plugins and are useful only to encapsulate work being done in page that shouldn't be done on the ui thread.
