If this gets readdressed in the future it can be split into multiple bugs.

Most of the earlier patches would still be valid, but its useless landing
them without them being used by the later patches. They would just be
dead code.

To clarify what could be done, Pavel raised some concerns that in a
multiprocess model page discovery cannot be handled in WebCore
like "New Part 5" tried to do. That is a valid concern for Chromium
and probably WebKit2 as well. So, handling page discovery could be
moved into the WebKit client layer. Here was his comment:
