See my slightly longer explanation in the previous message. The

I'm not sure I follow.... The current setup in the observer service is
also completely deterministic except in terms of the amount of memory
and CPU is uses, no?
I hope we're not talking past each other... the visible behavior of
Services.obs.addObserver("glurph", () => { alert("Glurph!"); }, true)
(pretending that the function supported nsIWeakReference) depends on
when the GC notices the function is garbage. No?
