> I think a WKPageRef-based create API is an unnecessary convenience. This one is also awkwardly named. Is calling this different from calling WKViewCreate() passing the context of the page? If so, and three different WKViewCreate…() functions are needed, I suggest merging them into one and adding an options parameter.

The associate page create function is not a convenience, it is the only way ensure that two views have their WebProcess counterparts in the same WebProcess.  It should be used in cases like one page calling window.open().  I am not sure how we can merge these into one function, can you explain what its signature would be?
