Public bug reported:

WebView is currently a QQuickItem with no contents and no event
handling. Contents and event handling are provided by child QQuickItem's
(RenderViewItem), which have a corresponding RenderWidgetHostView. This
is analogous to Chromium Aura, where each RenderWidgetHostView has a
corresponding aura::Window.

However, we should try to get rid of these child QQuickItem's. WebView
should provide contents and event handling itself, and we should stop
subclassing RenderWidgetHostView in qt/core. This would allow us to have
a browser-side compositor for the webview, much like ContentViewCore /
ContentViewRenderView on Android
