So much plumbing!

These should take HTMLMediaElement&;

> Source/WebCore/page/Page.h:464
> +    WEBCORE_EXPORT bool allowMediaDocumentInlinePlayback() const { return m_allowMediaDocumentInlinePlayback; }

This function name is a verb phrase, so sounds like it “allows” something. But really it just returns a boolean. That’s why so many Cocoa names of methods like this function use the word “should” or something like that to make it sound like a boolean predicate and not a verb.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKWebViewPrivate.h:215
> +@property (nonatomic, getter=_allowMediaDocumentInlinePlayback, setter=_setAllowMediaDocumentInlinePlayback:) BOOL _allowMediaDocumentInlinePlayback;

This function name is a verb phrase, so sounds like it will “allow” something. But really it just returns a boolean. That’s why so many Cocoa names of methods like this function use the word “should” or something like that to make it sound like a boolean predicate and not a verb. Or at least “allows” by analogy with “requires” on the line above.

Yeah; allows...? doesAllow...? shouldAllow...?

I'll pick a more appropriate name here and post a new patch.

I went with 'allows' rather than 'shouldAllow' or 'doesAllow', because the property is already super long without an extra non-imperative verb on the front.

Unnecessary!

I would prefer a more descriptive variable name than 'flag.'

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/WebPage/WebPage.cpp:3011
> +void WebPage::setAllowsMediaDocumentInlinePlayback(bool flag)

Boo flag

Boooooooo

It looks like you had partially renamed flag to allows.  Build fix committed to http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/187263
