Description

I'm only partway through respondWith, and there's all sorts of things in there that should not be happening "in parallel", and other parts of this spec have similar issues (e.g hthttps://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/v1/#dom-cache-put does mutations on a shared data structure "in parallel"; it's not clear how that's supposed to work exactly).

Please audit all uses of "in parallel" to ensure they actually make sense.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the "in parallel" usage in respondWith and the Cache.put section at https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/v1/#dom-cache-put, then search the rest of the Service Worker specification for the same wording. Done means every use has been audited and any wording that does not make sense for shared mutations or other operations has been identified for correction.
