+Rafael, some corrections: the XmlSerializer in Whidbey can't access
+private members, just like in .NET 1.1. The serializer in .NET 2.0 is
+the same, with some minor changes. Indigo will introduce a new
+serializer which supports private members, but this is not par of Whidbey.
+
+This test case works in MS.NET as far as the MyList instance is
+created by it's container. If the field is null, it will also fail
+since the serializer can't use a public constructor to create the
+list. In mono we check that all classes are public when construction
+the xml mappings, and we are not considering this scenario. We just
+need to change this.
