My answer is that it depends on the type of incoming reference.  
Remote weak references would have their own incoming and outgoing  
tables. The incoming table would be weak-valued.

When you make a weak reference, the maker would note that the target  
is a Far-proxy, and requests the ref's comm system to make a weak  
outgoing reference.

I'm not a CapTP expert, but I can't think of any any reason why this  
couldn't be done with little added complexity. Could someone who does  
know speak up?
