You can use run_javascript from the UI process to run arbitrary 
Javascript inside the web process.  It's pretty easy to roll your own 
messaging system on top of this, or you can just trigger the code you 
want directly.

For an example using run_javascript and the window title (rather than 
the new postMessage() method), see 
https://github.com/rschroll/webkitdom/tree/javascript.  Other branches 
show a solution with IPC over DBus and the old WebKitGtk code.
