+Summary: System.Xml.dll should be called System.XML.dll
+
+In MS .NET, the assembly is called System.XML.dll (even though the
+namespace is System.Xml).
+
+This causes problems in SML.NET
+<http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-November/002901.html>
+because the default configuration specifically looks for System.XML.dll,
+which looses on case-sensitive unix filesystems.
+
+The name that Mono has chosen may be more sensible given that the namespace
+is System.Xml, but is that reason enough to be incompatible?
