Do you think Bombadil's "Girdle" around the old forest likens itself to the Girdle of Melian?

Well, you could say "Bombadil is to the Old Forest as Melian is to Doriath", certainly- but I'm not sure whether his physical girdle (not mentioned in "Lord of the Rings" IIRC) should be seen as a reference to that.
