So I've managed to get a solid resource lifecycle working, and am part-way through moving to a subsurface-based render loop, however moving to the resource API made me wonder about WebGL, and I've tried a couple of WebGL-based sites which don't work with this approach, so went back and tried the old single view with EGL-backed rendering, and this didn't work either. 

Then I tried Cog, and it seems Cog can't show WebGL-based sites even with  webkit_settings_set_enable_webgl(settings, 1) turned on. Is this a known issue? Is there any way to get WebGL working?
