OK, makes sense, especially for saving ephemeral settings. Except:

Problem is this makes it hard to audit that Epiphany/WebKit isn't leaking data into the default data dirs. Currently, as long as you don't open yelp, ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Epiphany/cache/webkitgtk should never exist. But with this change, you have to never open yelp *or* the web inspector, which is harder. ;) What do you think about using a different global location, like "webkitgtk-inspector" instead of the default location?
