Summary: Memory leak in DynElement.deleteChild()

Initial Comment:
The DynElement.deleteChild() function is implemented 
thus:

p.deleteChild = function(c) {
	c.removeFromParent();
   	c._delete();
};

Although the _delete() function is documented in 
quickref.dynelement.html, it is not implemented 
_anywhere_ in the DynAPI source code, except for 
being set to dynapi.functions.Null in event.js.

If you have a page that repeatedly adds and removes 
DynElements, it will leak memory.  If you replace the call
to _delete() with a call to _destroy(), the memory leak 
goes away:

p.deleteChild = function(c) {
	c.removeFromParent();
   	c._destroy();
};
