How about we nuke LinkAdded/LinkRemoved off everything that's not HTMLLinkElement altogether, and make the ones on HTMLLinkElement non-virtual.  Then we change this bit in nsDocument:

  nsRefPtr<nsContentList> links = NS_GetContentList(root,
                                                    kNameSpaceID_Unknown,
                                                    NS_LITERAL_STRING("link"));

to pass kNameSpaceID_HTML and then we can just static_cast the list elements to HTMLLinkElement.  Do that in both pageshow and pagehide.

The rest looks good.

Andrea, this could probably bitrot your patches for the URL API.

Ehsan, I updated my patch for URL API, can you take a look and see if this patch changes something for it?

It shouldn't change anything fundamental, I mostly CCed you here in case your patches failed to apply on top of this.  Otherwise, no need to worry about anything here!
