1154779 - Consider firing languagechange events on workers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Workers, defect, P5)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I'm not actually sure we want this, fwiw.  Hixie's HTML spec has:

  Whenever the user agent needs to make the navigator.languages attribute of a
  Window or WorkerGlobalScope object return a new set of language tags, the user
  agent must queue a task to fire a simple event named languagechange at the
  Window or WorkerGlobalScope object and wait until that task begins to be
  executed before actually returning a new value.

Move all DOM bugs that haven't been updated in more than 3 years and has no one currently assigned to P5.

We already fire languagechange events on the window globals. We need to do it for workers too. Let's reuse this similar (already-fixed) bug instead of creating a new one.
