And, generally, if there's no documentation to the contrary, you should assume that all other code does the appropriate thing to satisfy its needs, leaving you to only have to worry about your code. That is, if it needs to retain something, it will and it takes the responsibility to balance that retain with a release. If it needs to copy something, ditto. Neither is your concern.
