 However, it won't help in all cases, because custom formatters
 are not aware about this hack, so it's probably useless.

+Unfortunately we couldn't use these callbacks to aviod ISerializable 
+because they have no SerializationInfo.
+
+On the other hand [OnDeserialized] seems to be a good feature that 
+could be used in other classes as well (Not just Color). Note that 
+(I think you know but other people may read this.:) there is a 
+IDeserializationCallback interface that does the same in MS.NET 1.x 
+so implementing it in ObjectManager.RaiseDeserializationEvent() in 
+profile 1.0 seems to be a good solution because custom formatter 
+will support it. Other callbacks cannot be implemented without 
+compatiblity problems.
+
+But note that generally we shouldn't use such hacks because they 
+have disadvantages:
+
+If someone wants to create code that runs on Mono and MS.NET as well 
+he most likely wants *exactly* the same behaviour on both runtimes. 
+So if develops code on Mono, he uses these hacks during development, 
+and assumes these hack, then his code won't be MS.NET compatiblie.
+
+If someone only wants to use Mono he can use profile 2.0 and won't 
+need any hack.
+
+Another and very unlikely but possible case is that he uses these 
+attributes for his own purposes and Mono will mess up his code.
