We do still have a reference to the style element, which needs to be cleared:

    delete InjectedScript.stylesheet;

However, there is no safe place to clear this.  The ElementPanel's constructor
does not appear to get rerun on a refresh, only reset(). However, reset() gets
called all over the place and making new stylesheets would lose access to
deleting old rules.  I have a similar problem with Cookies in the StoragePanel
which I alluded to in Bug 27202.

I propose adding a hook for panels names something like "onpageload" or
"onrefresh".  The idea being (correct me if I am wrong):

  - A Panel's Constructor is run once when the Inspector is first opened
  - populateInterface() is run when ...?
  - reset() is called all over the place without knowledge of new pages
  - onpageload() would be called on navigation (including page refresh)

onpageload() plugs the hole of wanting to do something once per page load such
as:

  - Wiping (or Creating) the Injected Stylesheet
  - Adding the Cookies Tree Element once, because it need only be made once

Uglier, but still usable would be providing a flag to reset like
reset(isPageLoad) which could be made true on new page loads.
