Oops, I meant to say "bug(s)". See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122063

> Making ContentViewController aware of specific ContentView subclasses would be a layering violation. The callback makes sense with how it is used by the sidebar. I do worry there are places where a resource content view will be shown that does not go through the sidebar and it will miss out of restore functionality. Adding a generic content view interface that each view can implement to provide a cookie and restore would be another approach. But getting the cookie from the contentView up-front to compare before it is shown would be a challenge.

So I'll keep the callback for now, but move to the cookie interface used for preserving content views across inspector close/open.
