> The idea is to create a way for one browser view to interface with another as a plugin. However, when graphics contexts are requested by a plugin, that request must be redirected through the plugin's communications API so that the host process can actually be the one to allocate the graphics context.

That won't work.  When a context is created it's not associated with any WebView or any state associated with that WebView - it might be used to render anything in the process.  If you want some process-wide state, that can just as easily be stored in a static on the chromium side of the API.
