All WK*Ref types are ref-counted. WKRetain and WKRelease work on any WK*Ref type. WebKit2's C API is modeled after CoreFoundation. You can find more information (including information about memory management) here: <http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFDesignConcepts/CFDesignConcepts.html>.
