The HTML5 parser uses nsIContent**s as handles to nodes. The allocated handle space is only freed when the tree builder is freed. In the case of a fragment parser, this means the handles are freed only once the document that has a fragment parser goes away. In the fragment parser case, the handles should be freed after each fragment parse run.
Nominating as a blocker, because this mean that keeping open a page like the TBPL will use up more and more memory until the tab is closed.
