[Mono-list] Anyone working on System.WeakReference?

I'm interested in using weak references in the Xml DOM implementation for 
owner node type references.  Since the DOM tree contiains pointers to 
children, and the children contain references to the tree, I end up with a 
circular reference, which may prevent GC when the tree is released.

I didn't see anyone in the class maintainers, but weak references seem like 
they'll need some special support.
