For the record, this is not true. The significant difference is that Servo creates a reflector (JSObject) for any DOM object as soon as it is created, and this reflector is responsible for the deallocation of the DOM object. Gecko instead manages the DOM object through reference counting, and only creates a reflector when JS code needs it. > the memory management arrangements of the two > engines are fundamentally different and, therefore, the same WebIDL > bindings won't work. ... but your conclusion remains correct.
