The memory management of the GObject DOM bindings is still a work in
progress (unfortunately!). We are trying to figure the best to
automatically collect them, but for now you are correct in saying that
they are essentially "leaked" until the process is over.

See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40302 for some discussion
on the topic. Our plan is to have this issue resolved before the next
stable release in April.
