Why doesn the DOM specify anything regarding memory management?

The DOM specification does not define any methods related to memory management (such as to release an object). This is because while the DOM is a programming language independent API, the way one deals with memory is very language specific. Therefore any method related to memory management that is required by a particular language, needs to be specified in that language binding. Due to the way memory is managed in Java and ECMAScript, none of the bindings included in the DOM specification have such methods.
