Maybe I'm gifted in stupidity, but what does the abbreviation UA refer to here?

Apart from that I guess, that SW means Service Worker in this context.

annevk commented 7 years ago

User agent, but both that and SW should indeed be spelled out and not abbreviated.

Apologies for the spam, unfortunately I don't have the rights to delete comments. Trying to get that fixed. https://discourse.wicg.io/t/admin-rights-in-wicg-repos/2090.

Pseudo-self-assigning the abbreviation issue. Will fix.
