We currently don't traverse a FontFaceSet::mUserFontSet->mFontFaceSet.  It doesn't matter now, since in nsPresContext::Destroy we will call DestroyUserFontSet() on the FontFaceSet, which will clear both FontFaceSet::mUserFontSet->mFontFaceSet and FontFaceSet::mUserFontSet.  But in 1161413 I plan to allow FontFaceSets to remain usable even after (or without) a pres context goes away.

Hmm, I need to now go through the ownership model here.
Why are we explicitly traversing/unlinking a member variable of mUserFontSet.
Why can't we just traverse/unlink mUserFontSet, and let its implementation
to traverse/unlink mFontFaceSet?
FontFaceSet::UserfontSet inherits from gfxUserFontSet. And as I understand it no gfx classes are cycle collected and there is a desire to keep it that way.  I couldn't see a way to keep gfxUserFontSet being a plain recounted class but have its derived class be cycle collected.
*refcounted (sorry on phone)
But it is always FontFaceSet::mUserFontSet which owns one particular instance of FontFaceSet::UserfontSet? The instance isn't shared by multiple FontFaceSets?
(we must be sure to not traverse some field too many times, in this case mUserFontSet->mFontFaceSet)

Ok, looks like FontFaceSet::EnsureUserFontSet always creates a new UserFontSet per FontFaceSet object, so this should be fine.

Thanks, yeah each FontFaceSet gets its own FontFaceSet::UserFontSet.
