QWebSecurityOrigin should be fine, I think it's preferable not to create a new class if it is only going to contain static functions.

Ideally you should start from the work already done in the patch there (if it would also solves your use case).
Since Simon started it I think that it would be best if you get his opinion first. I don't know if you can simply expose WebCore functions in QWebSecurityOrigin or if this would need some closer attention.
He's on vacation right now so you might have to wait 2 weeks to be able to find him.
