As Cocoa documentation states all items returned from a message are autoreleased unless otherwise stated in the documentation for the API call.

The documentation emphatically does not state that.

The basic rules are given here:
<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Articles/mmRules.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000994-BAJHFBGH >

The rest of the document gives further details.
