///
/// Every object created by new or by a factory
/// method (for example, Document::create*) must be released
/// with a call to release() or autoRelease() when it
/// is no longer needed.
///
/// Every object created by cloning or importing another
/// object must be released.
/// For every call to duplicate() there must be a matching
/// call to release().
/// An object obtained via any other way must not be
/// released, except ownership of it has been explicitely
/// taken with a call to duplicate().
///
/// While DOMObjects are safe for use in multithreaded programs,
/// a DOMObject or one of its subclasses must not be accessed
/// from multiple threads simultaneously.
