What needs to happen for this to work, is to be able to set/get the
context group that WebKit uses...once that happens, it's entirely
trivial to be able to pluck DOM objects out of pages and use them in
Seed extensions...it should be a relatively small API addition, I just
don't know where all the parts are in WebKit.
