Summary Add some comments about XSLStyleSheet owner node

XSLStyleSheets come in two varieties - one is created by <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction, and another by XSLTProcessor. These are extremely different in how they handle stylesheet and owner node lifetime. - ProcessingInstruction ones are exposed to JavaScript, so stylesheet lifetime is unpredictable. - ProcessingInstruction clears out backpointer in its destructor. - XSLTProcessor exposes nothing to JavaScript, and carefully manages lifetime issues without a need for arbitrary nodes' destructors to clear out references to those nodes. This is difficult to figure out by looking at existing code.

Created attachment 74169 [details] proposed patch Also, renamed a function that creates embedded stylesheets from createInline() to createEmbedded(). An example of such stylesheet is <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="#style1"?> <!DOCTYPE doc SYSTEM "doc.dtd"> <doc> <head> <xsl:stylesheet id="style1" version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <...>

Comment on attachment 74169 [details] proposed patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=74169&action=review > WebCore/xml/XSLStyleSheet.h:54 > + static PassRefPtr<XSLStyleSheet> createEmbedded(Node* parentNode, const KURL& finalURL) The only call site for this function renamed in this patch is passing a ProcessingInstruction*; that must be the only one or those others would need to use the new name. Given that, I don’t understand why this function takes a Node* and its only the other create function that takes a ProcessingInstruction*. > WebCore/xml/XSLStyleSheetLibxslt.cpp:79 > + // It can also be some otehr node, Typo: "otehr".
