> Because in our web process extension system we haven't exposed any communication API, we use the injected bundle custom messages for internal communication, but we leave the apps to use whatever they want to communicate their web process extensions with their UI process. So, we need a way to match a page from UI and Web processes.

This is only available in the web extensions API for GTK+. In Epiphany we use D-Bus to communicate the web extension with the app, so that we can expose GObjects and use signals, properties, etc. We need a way to match between WebKitWebView (UI) and WebKitWebPage (Web) and we used the page id just for convenience.
