Please add a comment explaining what this is class is for and why someone would
want to use it.

Done.

+ public:
+  // Register for information about changing
+  virtual void AddGlobalIdChangeObserver(GlobalIdChange callback) = 0;
+
+  // Given a |global_id|, returns what the current |global_id| is for the given
+  // navigation, to the best of our ability. If we do not have such a mapping,
+  // which is quite possible, the input |global_id| is returned.
+  virtual int64_t GetLatestGlobalId(int64_t global_id) = 0;

I think I understand what this is doing, but the comment and name are kind of
confusing. First of all I don't think you meant to put | | around the second
global_id. Second, referring to a navigation is confusing since no other code or
comment here refers to navigation at all.  Third, the comment says "current
global id" when the function is named "latest" global id; using consistent
terminology would be helpful.

Done the first and third requests, the class comment now includes words about
navigations, so keeping that here as well.
