This page tests whether custom properties on DOM objects persist after garbage collection.

If the test passes, you'll see a series of 'PASS' messages below.

Because neither WinIE nor FF has reasonable or predictable behavior in this scenario, this test just documents our behavior to ensure that we don't change it accidentally. It is not a prescription for how things should behave.
