Sorry for late reply.

There has been a discussion on making this independent of DOM, which would make it implementable in JS servers, web workers, etc: https://github.com/sysapps/tcp-udp-sockets/issues/62. I don't see any problems exposing the API to a web worker except the general big issue on security. See the section on Security and Privacy and the Permission methods in the specification.

FYI: As the SysApps WG has been closed down we are in the process of moving the TCP and UDP Sockets API to a Community Group where interested parties could continue to develop this API.
