When a tooltipped object is deleted while the tooltip is shown, the tooltip never disappears (as there will be no mouseout event) about tipsy

[jaz303]

I've added a validate() method to the Tipsy object, which you can call by doing $('#element-to-be-deleted').tipsy('validate') - this will remove the tooltip if the tooltipped object is no longer in the DOM. I think this is the best that can be done without the ability to observe the DOM for changes.

How is this method called? I was just going to fork the project and add the same code triggered by a timer while the tip is showing. I accidentally noticed this little function in the prototype but still I do not know if I can rely on it to automatically hide obsolete Tipsy objects. Can you please advise? Thanks
