OK.

This is not exactly true. Default XMIReferenceProvider does not know how 
to generate hrefs, because it cannot predict which files will user use 
to serialize the object not contained in the collection. I guess that we 
will use Daniel's suggestion here and return null from 
XMIReferenceProvider to indicate that neither object nor href will be 
serialized. But very likely there will be a chance for a user to set a 
custom default XMIReferenceProvider which can implement the logic 
differently.
