That would be pretty cool!  I'd much rather do this within the existing API if
possible--perhaps one of the WebKitGtk devs could jump in.  I'm new to WebKit,
and basically working from <URL:http://webkitgtk.org/reference/index.html>, and
I don't see anything that provides that functionality--but I could easily have
missed it.

If something is planned, I believe we could wait for it, and use the more
general solution instead of pushing for piecemeal fixes like the present patch.

But if not, I guess we have no alternative :(
