I'm writing an extension that uses the toolstrip mole
(chrome.toolstrip.expand/collapse) functionality to pop up on certain
pages. The user can also minimize/expand it on demand on those pages.

Since toolstrips are per window, and not per tab, I need to keep a
good amount of state in the background page, and coordinate between
the background page and the toolstrip quite a bit. For example, if the
user moves from a tab where the toolstrip is showing to one where it's
not, the background page needs to tell the toolstrip to collapse
itself, and vice-versa. Letting the user also collapse and expand
means that the background page needs to know that too.

All this gets fairly complicated and bug-prone, and it seems that my
extension will not be the only one to have this use case of per-tab
toolstrip state. Would the Chrome extensions team consider adding
support for this to the API? I could come up with a more defined
proposal.

Thanks,
matias
