Well, after I wrote the message, I added a line:

    long retainCount = [outputString retainCount];

after the call to stringWithFormat and saw that it had a retain count of 1 - this would seem to settle the issue that I am correct on this point at least.

However, thanks for the pointer to the site, I will take a close look at it.
