No use in polling if we can't write anything back to JS from Obj-C. There's a private API to do so: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/commit/adb4c60064b38b5ab3d6e78422325f35f0b7fe2b only landed a few months ago, we'll have to do some advocacy through whatever channels we have to get it in the public API (radars, connections), since it is a deficiency in their API losing something like stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString
