Sounds good to me.

I think if apps will write to custom storage, they probably also want to read from custom storage and ignore any credentials managed by WebKit... right?

Hm, either way seems fine to me... keeping everything in WebKitAuthenticationRequest seems nice, to keep related APIs in one place. On the other hand, it probably does make more sense as a global setting rather than a per-request setting. I doubt any app would want to sometimes use WebKit storage for some requests and sometimes use custom storage for other requests.
