The XSModel doesn't throw away the DOM. It never has a reference to it. The DOM is traversed to construct the XSModel, but once we're done we don't need it anymore so we drop all of our references to it. That's what I meant by throw away. The DOM would normally get garbage collected, but if you still have a reference to it you're free to keep using it. > Thanks, > Ranjit Thanks.
