Android L

I'm reading the Lollipop API notes and the following seem like possibilities:

- Add new entries to config.xml to selectively enable setMixedContentMode() and setAcceptThirdPartyCookies() when desired for backward compatibility (off by default).
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#Behaviors

- Add implementation for onPermissionRequest(PermissionRequest) and onPermissionRequestCanceled(PermissionRequest). But this should be handled by the developer in AndroidManifest.xml, so maybe not.
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#UI

- Add implementation for onShowFileChooser() to the WebviewChromeClient. File input in html forms is finally fixed?
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#UI

- Use some of the new Storage Access Framework APIs.

Thoughts?

  I like the new default behaviours, since they're more secure, and I think
that we should implement a content provider to serve our docs after 4.0 is
released as a 5.0.  It's too bad that we don't have this option when
targeting earlier versions of Android and that it forces Android "Quirks
Mode". Quirks Mode FTL. :(

Depends on what you think fixed means? I'm pretty sure the abstraction is
super weird, and we'll have to deal with Intent handling.
