Description
Over in #612 we decided that about:blank documents in iframes should inherit their controller from the parent. This matches the inheritence of the origin.
I think we also similarly inherit the origin when creating the about:blank document for window.open(). Should that about:blank client also be controlled by the opener's service workers?

Research direction
Start by reading issue #612 and the question about the about:blank document created by window.open(). Compare the proposed controller inheritance with the existing origin inheritance described here, then determine the intended service-worker behavior and document the decision in the relevant specification discussion.
