Hi do I need to use CFRelease for an element obtained by AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition function?

it looks like I have (it has a "copy" in the name)
but I saw few Apple's example and none of them release that element

for example Apple's UIElementInspector has the following code:

AXUIElementRef newElement = NULL; ..... if (AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition ( _systemWideElement, pointAsCGPoint.x, pointAsCGPoint.y, &newElement ) == kAXErrorSuccess && newElement && ([self currentUIElement] == NULL || ! CFEqual ( [self currentUIElement], newElement ))) { ....

        ....

there is no call for CFRelease for  newElement
( I checked  CFGetRetainCount(newElement)  in my application:
it returns 1)

in my application (Carbon, non GUI application) I call CFRElease (newElement) and everything is OK, but I'd like to be sure that what I'm doing is correct

thanks
