Description
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/infrastructure.html#parallelism
Parallel queues have landed, and I'm pretty confident there's a better way to express the job queues we currently use.
This should make it easier to follow and link between algorithms, while expressing actions that must happen in series.

Research direction
Start with the WHATWG infrastructure section on parallelism and compare its parallel queues with the job queues currently used in the ServiceWorker specification. Map the existing job-queue algorithms before deciding how to express them in terms of parallel queues, while preserving actions that must happen in series; done means the specification is consistently rewritten and the algorithm links remain clear.
