[CSS OM] StyledElementInlineStylePropertyMap creates a Ref cycle with its owner element

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

There is a very obvious leak here.
StyledElementInlineStylePropertyMap ref's its element and Element Ref's the map in ElementRareData.

That approach makes sense as well. Although I'm hoping that I can just add the support for WeakPtr<Element> and remove this code.
