/*
 * Destruction of a placeholder and its out-of-flow must observe the
 * following constraints:
 *
 * - The mapping from the out-of-flow to the placeholder must be
 *   removed from the frame manager before the placeholder is destroyed.
 * - The mapping from the out-of-flow to the placeholder must be
 *   removed from the frame manager before the out-of-flow is destroyed.
 * - The placeholder must be removed from the frame tree, or have the
 *   mapping from it to its out-of-flow cleared, before the out-of-flow
 *   is destroyed (so that the placeholder will not point to a destroyed
 *   frame while it's in the frame tree).
 *
 * Therefore the safe order of teardown is to:
 *
 * 1)  Unregister the placeholder from the frame manager.
 * 2)  Destroy the placeholder
 * 3)  Destroy the out of flow
 *
 * In certain cases it may be possible to replace step (2) with:
 *
 * 2') Null out the mOutOfFlowFrame pointer in the placeholder
 *
 * and add
 *
 * 4) Destroy the placeholder
 *
 * but this is somewhat dangerous, since lots of code assumes that
 * placeholders point to something useful.
