 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?

+No, this is incorrect. It is a bug in your software to call it 
+System.XML.dll, because you are relying on the case insensitivity of 
+windows. On msdn it states:
+
+"Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)"
+
+In every class in System.Xml.
+
+In the reference for the SSCLI MS references:
+%TARGETCOMPLUS%\System.dll
+%TARGETCOMPLUS%\System.Xml.dll
+
+Since this is intended for *nix systems which are case sensitive, 
+they obviously mean what they say.
+
+On my box the file name is System.Xml.dll
