OK, it would be good to compare fixes. One reason I did it the way I 
did, instead of clearing on every page change, is because of the page 
cache we have in Safari. This can make the document stay live even 
after you change pages, so that we can have a really fast back/forward 
experience. This is why I had to tie clearing out the JS wrapper 
objects to destroying the document instead of to changing pages.
