 It's just an implementation difference, and if it were up to me we'd 
 avoid these differences (where it somehow makes sense, and doesn't 
 introduce bugs or weird behaviour), but clearly it's not ;-)
 
 It would be great if you'd reconsider your decision, but if not: no 
 prob !

+Exactly. MS.NET 2.0 behavior does not break the specification, as I
+mentioned.
+
+I believe that no one feels either happy or unhappy about this trivial
+difference.
+
+We *could* reopen this bug, but I dare not do it; if we keep every
+"implementation difference" things open in this bugzilla, those who
+want to find *real* bugs would be annoyed in front of the flood of
+those almost-meaningless information.
+
+However if you still think it would be great to be fixed, then as a
+first matter it is a bug in MS.NET which meaninglessly breaks
+"compatibility" between 1.x and 2.0, depending on speakers who speaks
+"compatibility". The best is to let Microsoft guys to fix this "bug"
+in the next 2.0 SP (you know, compatibilities are easily lost when
+they release any SPs), by that the compatibility "bug" could be fixed.
