Another argument I would see in favour of using the C APIs is that there is a 
chance of using functionality that can be unit tested.

"What on earth does he mean with that?" you may ask :)

Well, the Apple folks wrote up a nice set of unit tests for the C API, under 
Tools/TestWebKitAPI. There are also tests for some WTF classes and WK1.

Sadly we're not compiling & running these tests ourselves. However I don't 
think it's a mission-impossible to implement PlatformWebView and friends for 
Qt. Then we could build our API on top of something that tests the WK2 aspects 
of things.
