As IXMLDOMNode is a COM interface, it includes reference-counting semantics.
When a node is removed from the tree and it's reference count drops to zero,
the memory is reclaimed.  Parent nodes addref their children.  Keeping a
node alive has the side effect of keeping it's owner document alive.  In the
case that there are no outstanding nodes, still addref'd, when a
IXMLDOMDocument's refcount goes to zero, the entire document is reclaimed.

Something more mundane regarding MS.  When using MSXML and IE, is there a 
way to permanently remove an XMLDOMNode object 
or can one only remove it from the tree.  Over a long set 
of operations, without a means to get rid of it out 
of memory, obvious bad things happen.  IOW, what is 
the garbage collection policy for MSXML?
