What is the reasoning for this? data: URL workers have their own separate agent clusters, so I would think they should be allowed to use cross-origin isolated features...

This is because "data:" origins are opaque. We need these worker-specific logic because permission policy doesn't work with workers (w3c/webappsec-permissions-policy#207).

Right, they're opaque, so they should be treated as cross-origin isolated, right? So this should be set to true, if anything...

I'm talking about hte "cross-origin-isolated" feature. The worker is cross origin compared to its owner, and it is not able to set permission policies for data: workers so the default policy ("self") is applied, which means effective cross-origin isolated is false.

Also, according to https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#obtaining-a-worker/worklet-agent and https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#obtain-a-dedicated/shared-worker-agent a dedicated worker's agent cluster is its owner's.

Sorry, I was confused with data: URL iframes, which are their own agent cluster. OK, this is probably fine... I'll do a more full re-review.

Hmm, upon re-reviewing I am still confused why we want to prevent data: URL workers from using cross-origin isolated features. I know they have a different origin. However, for other important things, we inherit from the parent, even though they are cross-origin. For example, for embedder policy.

Yeah, we can choose either way. Ultimately that will be resolved in w3c/webappsec-permissions-policy#207 but to be honest I don't want to be blocked by the issue. I'm fine with either options, but starting with effective cross-origin isolated: false and changing the value to true if necessary (when w3c/webappsec-permissions-policy#207 is resolved) seems safer than the other option from the compatibility perspective.

Please note that for COEP we didn't have options. As the owner and the worker share the same agent cluster we needed to inherit the value when the owner had COEP: require-corp.

@annevk do you have opinions?

Got it. I understand now, and agree this is a good conservative default. I will push a commit adding a note about that reasoning.
