-Summary: gacutil installs neutral culture satellite assemblies as specific culture
+Summary: AssemblyName culture bugs and missing PublicKeyToken=null
 
 For example installs assembly with culture "hu" as "hu-hu" istead of "hu".
 
 Should be considered to use the original culture name ("hu-HU") instead 
 of the lower case version.

+As you can see in the attached test AssemblyName is not MS.NET 
+compatible:
+Assembly.FullName:
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_custom, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=custom, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: <System.ArgumentException>
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_null, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: AssemblyCulture_null, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_en, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: AssemblyCulture_en, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en-US
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_en-US, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en-US, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: AssemblyCulture_en-US, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en-US
+Assembly.GetName:
+Expected: <System.ArgumentException>
+OK Got: <System.ArgumentException>
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_null, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: AssemblyCulture_null, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_en, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: AssemblyCulture_en, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en-US
+Expected: AssemblyCulture_en-US, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en-US, 
+PublicKeyToken=null
+BUG Got: AssemblyCulture_en-US, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=en-US
+
+The most important difference is that specific culture is returned 
+even for neutral cultures that causes a lot of issues including the 
+previously reported gacutil bug.
+
+In addition Assembly.FullName is probably not implemented using 
+AssemblyName in MS.NET becuse it supports custom culture names while 
+AssemblyName not.
+
+Originally I was doing tests on culture names but I found that 
+PublicKeyToken=null is missing from Assembly.FullName as well as 
+from AssemblyName.FullName.
