Error when initializing Child Workers #99

I tried initializing child web workers from a parent worker, and it seems to work well with the exception of the following error being thrown:

rpc-wrapper.js:20 Uncaught ReferenceError: document is not defined
    at Worker.<anonymous> (rpc-wrapper.js:20)

Digging in, it seems like its part of building up the ready event, although document is not in scope in the context of a WebWorker.

let evt = document.createEvent('Event');
evt.initEvent(d.method, false, false);
evt.data = d.params;
worker.dispatchEvent(evt);

What is the purpose of the ready event? Is there a way to build the event in a WebWorker-safe manner? I've looked into new Event, but that's not IE compatible.
