So, for WebEngine to send out the below system-dependent value, what should be the value of the WebEngine.userAgent property? null? That makes sense to me. It also makes sense for the WebEngine.userAgent property to default to null then. This is magic I'd like to avoid. Most apps would set this property at most once and so would need no shortcut to the default value. So the value of the property would be the actual UA string at all times. The default value would be different on different platforms -- that seems fine to me. Application code would sometimes want to conditionalize on os.name -- that seems fine too.
I think that makes sense. We need to be sure to document that the UA string is different on different platforms. Ideally it would be easy to compute and parse?
