I'm also wondering whether we should rename it to something like
WebKitURIRequest/WebKitURIResponse (following the C API) or
WebKitResourceRequest/WebKitResourceResponse (following WebCore), to
avoid using the work Network which is confusing, because the URI of a
request/response might be a local file.
