Is it ok for these members to be enumerable? They seem like a UA implementation
detail.

Switched to using Object.defineProperty so that they're not enumerable.

+  this.objectNode_ = document.createElement('object');
+  // Force compositing, since the plugin only works for accelerated pages.
+  this.objectNode_.style.webkitTransform = 'translateZ(0)';

This should be unnecessary. We just landed a patch to force compositing on
guests, and pepper takes care of the magic in the embedder.

Removed.
