        The registererd XReference listeners are notified. On notification
        they are  to unregister themselves. The notification is thread-safe.
        However, it is possible to add a listener during the notification
        process, which will never receive a notification.
        To prevent this, one would have to synchronize this method with
        the addReference method. But this can result in deadlocks in a
        multithreaded environment.
