   I agree with most of your analysis.

OK, I'll start making the changes.

   *** xml/xml-names.scm

   This is hairy: part of it looks like it needs to be datum-weak, but we
   don't have that now.  But someone more familiar with the XML name
   abstraction should review this.

   ****************
   All three tables should be weak.

Making them weak will do nothing, actually, because every datum in
them has a strong reference to its key.  These want to be datum-weak
hash tables, not key-weak hash tables.  So I think that for now, since
we don't have datum-weak hash tables, these should all be strong,
perhaps with a comment about what the state of affairs should be.
