WebKit should nil out the PDFView's delegate before releasing it. This is required to fix <rdar://problem/6978204> in PDFKit.

The problem is that the WebPDFView is deallocated while it is still the delegate, not that the PDFView is being released while having a non-nil delegate.

Good point Dan. I've updated the title to more accurately reflect the actual problem: "WebPDFView should remove itself as the delegate of its PDFView before being dealloced"
