I agree, but Lars and Stefan may not.  They prefer (based on a
discussion in emacs-devel just recently) a more Emacsian behavior where
possible, instead of mimicking regular web browsers.

I agree this functionality would be nice, see `eww-setup-buffer'.
Should be pretty trivial.

I don't see a need for complicated variable passing as you described and
I omitted, but have no strong opinion about it either.
