OK, I see that explained in a FIXME comment in the code.

This seems pretty unfortunate.  I think the objective of that comment is to
prevent an embedder from loading the given FrameLoadRequest inside the
createWindow call.  However, by plumbing the URL through the createWindow
call as your patch is doing, you are effectively making it possible for
the embedder to load the URL straight away.

It seems like we should fix all of the embedders to not load the request
inside of createWindow, and then we should be able to safely pass the
target URL as the URL of the FrameLoadRequest.

Plumbing another URL parameter alongside the FrameLoadRequest doesn't seem
like the right solution to me.
