Question concerning XMLCh*

Hi everybody,

simple question: do I have to call the "XMLString::release()" method when an
XMLCh* pointer is not used anymore? 
If yes: what may happen if I do not call this method?

Example code:
	XMLCh* xchImpl = NULL;
	xchImpl = XMLString::transcode("Range");
	DOMImplementation* impl =
DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation(xchImpl);
	XMLString::release(&xchImpl); //is this necessary?

Thanks for your reply,
Michael

You will have memory leaks. If you do not restart your app for a long
time it will use all RAM you have.
