+Summary: Mono should serialize interfaces to XML, as MS framework does
+
+I am trying to deploy a website using Maverick.NET+Apache+mod_mono.
+
+My web app, as the Maverick.NET attached example in the tarball, does a lot
+of serialization stuff, above all if XSLT is used. With MS Framework
+(VS.NET 2003) I am able to serialize a variable whose type is an interface,
+but Mono returns an exception.
+
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile and execute the testcase I am going to attach.
+
+
+Actual Results:
+> mono MonoBugAboutInterfaceSerialization.exe
+
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException:
+System.Collections.IList cannot be serialized because it is an interface
+in <0x00142>
