​When the complaint comes from the office of the Director we have to
assume it's going to hamper us whether or not they are misinformed.

To be clear here: the point made was that the Web Application Security 
group never asked for a review from the Web Applications working group 
prior to asking for transition to CR. As a consequence, the WebApps 
group did not get an opportunity to review the Upgrade Insecure 
Resources specification [1], including the reference related to Web Workers.
As a reminder, there is an expectation that the specification has 
received wide review prior to the publication of a Candidate Recommendation.
