This is a complicated issue, but I think its best described as:

1) Allow service workers to opt-in to a "concurrent fetch" mode
2) If a navigation will be intercepted by a SW in this mode, then perform a network request while interception occurs.
3) The SW will then have a promise API to get the result of the concurrent network request.
4) The SW will have an API to configure additional headers for the concurrent network request.

This has been added to the spec as navigation preload.
