Yes, I do have an objection.

Browser-specific API can be injected by the browser and doesn’t need to be built into WebKit. Safari already has some DOM API accessible only to search providers. WebKit has an architecture that allows this to be done without WebKit code changes.

I suggest we put this feature in browsers, not the engine.
