I see... that suggests that we'd need to have a common subclass of ExtraData that all code in Chromium can expect a WebURLRequest::ExtraData to downcast to.  We could probably put something in src/webkit/glue/ to help make that less error prone.

I also wonder if this kind of thing wouldn't be much easier to support if ResourceRequest were reference counted, and if the allocation of ResourceRequest were done by the embedding layer.  Then we could just extend the size of the ResourceRequest structure at the embedding layer.  /shrug... not sure what is best.
