------- Additional Comments from Darin Adler <darin at apple.com>
The code that calls deref on the element created by createElement is incorrect.
You need to ref first if you're going to deref; the create call returns you a
"floating" object.

There are two ways to fix this:

    1) add the ref as well as the deref; the deref can then be unconditional
    2) take the approach I did with appendChild; make the function responsible
for always ref'ing and deref'ing the node being added, even if it fails

If you do (2) then the caller doesn't need to do the deref().

Otherwise, looks good.
