While I can see this in principle, I'm not sure I see what the problems are in practice. What kinds of problems do you envision? I think it would be nice for our current DOMUI pages to be built on top of the extensions APIs, but potentially have access to a few special APIs that extensions don't. It seems like it would be painful to try to cut them over to such a system all at once, so adding extensions APIs to DOMUI pages could be a nice bridge.
