/*
* Creating and deleting IMG nodes seems to cause memory leaks in WebKit, but
* there are also reports that keeping the same node and replacing src can cause
* memory leaks (also in WebKit).
*
* So we don't have to depend on doing one or the other in other code, abstract
* this. Use ImgPool.get() and ImgPool.release() to retrieve a new IMG node and
* return it. We can choose here to either keep a pool, to avoid constantly
* creating new ones, or to throw them away and create new ones, to avoid changing
* src.
*
* This doesn't clear styles or any other properties. To avoid leaking things from
* one type of image to another, use separate pools for each.
