[webkit-dev] Atomic Strings and static vars

[Geoffrey Garen]

FYI, a static AtomicString would be a Bad Thing (TM) anyway, since it  
would require WebKit to have a static initialization routine for that  
string. Such a routine increases the start-up time and memory  
footprint of anything that links against WebKit, which includes just  
about everything that ships with OS X. (In fact, we have some open  
bugs about that.)
