[webkit-dev] Protecting against stale pointers in DrawingBuffer and GraphicsContext3D

[Maciej Stachowiak]

I don't know if this is what Darin (Adler) is referring to, but at one point I think there was a special weak pointer for Nodes to point back to their Document. This turned out to be the wrong design since for Web-compatible behavior you really want the document to stay alive while the node is alive.
