Who've proposed Web Workers
I wonder who is the first person who've proposed modern Web Workers API.
I find web workers, well, rather an ugly construction, I just can get the idea of calling workers from a separate file. I can see no any real danger in spawning a thread from an anonymous function.

But I'm asking this question without any intention to start flaming. The only reason I want to now the name (or names)  of architects of web workers API is to try to search for certain messages in mail lists to find out the **real motives**
