+Summary: additional comma after attribute_list not allowed
+
+I tried to compile such code:
+
+using System;
+using System.ComponentModel;
+
+public class AttributeTest
+{
+	[Category("mcs bug"), Description("this code cannot be 
+compliled;-)"), ]
+	public static void Main(String[] args)
+	{
+	}
+}
+
+...Then mcs failed:
+
+syntax error, expecting IDENTIFIER
+AttributeTest.cs (9,8), Token: CLOSE_BRACKET   : Parsing error
+Mono.CSharp.yyParser.yyException: irrecoverable syntax error
+   at Mono.CSharp.CSharpParser.yyparse(yyInput yyLex) in 
+c:\my\path\to\mcs\mcs\-:line 882
+   at Mono.CSharp.CSharpParser.parse() in c:\my\path\to\mcs\mcs\cs-
+parser.jay:line 3929
+error CS5001: Program AttributeTest.exe does not have an entry point 
+defined
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+MS C# compiler allows this code. And C# syntax allows such code
+(See 17.2 of C# syntax: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
+url=/library/en-us/csspec/html/vclrfcsharpspec_17_2.asp ).
+ECMA spec is equivalent.
+
+Key point is cs-parser.jay line 482.
+
+Such syntax sucks (for me). But current NDoc actually has such code...
