The point is, it could check the info, like TargetType, to do the decision whether to allow the loading to go ahead or not, or handle specially. And this target type info is related to the sub-resource type, and/or the load type. The sub-resource type is not available in dispatchDecidePolicyForXXX().

And these 2 new methods, along with its 2 parameters, provide a way for client to remember these info.

Of course, if we can add TargetType, along with other things, to cross-platform codes, then these are not necessary.
