That's one of the many things I've thought of. Unfortunately, try though 
I might, I just can't seem to come up with a correlation.

Last night I noticed at-spi-registryd use start climbing when I was 
using the totem plugin to listen to a streamed MP3, thought I might have 
finally figured out the cause, only the memory use kept spiking after 
I'd closed the tab, and in fact, kept growing even when I did nothing 
with FF. Just switching between apps could cause its memory use to grow.

It's as if the memory use just hangs around beneath 1%, then as soon as 
it breaks beyond that, it's entirely uncontained and nothing can stop 
it. Killing apps can make it shrink, but never back to what it was, and 
it soon starts growing again. And I can't for the life of me come up 
with one task that reliably gets it started.

Unfortunately, no. Most of my repeatedly-visited sites are 
password-protected--LJ, a work-related site, etc. Beyond that it is 
mostly random. The only site I regularly visit that isn't 
password-protected is news.thewordnerd.info, my feedreader, but I don't 
notice at-spi-registryd spikes correlating with visiting that.
