That is also something that I'd like to see. Taking it further I would
like Epiphany to launch and provide bookmarks/history/http handling via
dbus. Basically just 'epiphany without any windows open yet'.

Epiphany has the HTTP engine and cookies, etc at it's fingertips. Why
shouldn't we provide those services to other apps?
