Hi Simon,
as Dan wrote, the reason why we didn't implement the serialization of 
CollectionType at the time when we were implementing the XMIWriter was 
that the XMI spec was lacking description of how to serialize that. 
Since that time, nobody asked for that till recently and we have not had 
time to return to that problem yet. To make sure that we address that 
problem as soon as possible, you may want to file a P1 issue for this in 
Issuezilla.
