Thank you both for your replies. I had missed the "t->Release()" call in Release()...
Regarding the flags, I can see why it makes sense to store the information, but it doesn't need to be as a bit-field. For example, it is impossible for something to be simultaneously meta data (keyword, description) and a heading. If the "heading" bit is specified, the other two fields could be the level: 1-4. We could save the "plain text" bit by treating "heading level 4" as plain text. This more compact encoding could be an index to a lookup table of the full bit pattern (a la nano-code). This would give complete flexibility in the actual data stored. Regarding the use of <b> etc. instead of <h1>, I think we can thank Mr Gates for that one... However, it could also be treated as "level 3 heading", unless it is already given extra weight somehow. However, I realise that this is all very low priority stuff, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it...
