Is this only called on the UI thread, so that you don't have to worry about
races?  You could DCHECK() it... or at least put a comment in the header. 
DCHECK() is probably better.

Added a comment in the header.

I think you need to move the trailing paren, or this will always be false:

(restrictions & WPCFLAG_LOGGING_REQUIRED) == WPCFLAG_LOGGING_REQUIRED;

Done.
