Hm, so adding the info is not a problem. However the client is
expecting "successful" that is either True or False. So this mechanism
will not work with the existing client, sorry for that.

We could add a new mechanism via the statusbar, webkit supports a
callback on statusbar changes. Or alternatively "console-message" that
is called when "A JavaScript console message was created.". This time
we need to build-in a version so that the client can simply ignore
message versions its does not understand :)

Let me know which one you pick so that I start testing, time is up
for natty unfortunately, we are behind feature/UI freeze.

Cheers, 
 Michael
