In order to support https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110407, the front-end will need to receive some information related to a node before that node is pushed, with a simple "backend node identifier" used to identify the node. The front-end should then be able to request the node with the given backend node id to be pushed to the front-end and subsequently, a node pushed to the front-end should list both its backend node id and its regular node id, as it will be necessary for the LayerTreeAgent to be able to identify a node for the given backend node id has now been pushed.
