Not going to r- based on this, but consider it - I slightly prefer "getWebArchiveOfFrame" instead of "getWebArchiveForFrame"

Same comment applies throughout

It seems weird that every platform has this family of functionality even if they don't support our concept of a "WebArchive," and that makes this silent "never really do anything here" behavior puzzling to me for non-Mac/Win builds.

I don't know a good solution for this without a whole-lot-more #ifdef'ing

I talked to Sam and we decided to do it your way.

I thought it through, and I think this is probably the best tradeoff. I don’t think more ifdefs would be helpful. Returning an empty archive on platforms that don’t support archives seems OK to me, but you could argue that we need to return an error instead or omit the function entirely.
