+Summary: DateTime XML serialization 'incompatible' with MS
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+If a DateTime variable is serialized on mono using a XMLSerializer, the
+result gets one more trailing character at the end of the string compared
+to the same DateTime serialized on windows (.Net). This leads to different
+string length if serializing on linux than on windows (MS). A problem
+arises if the output is used for signing of XML produced on mono (linux)
+and tested / used on windows. 
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. create class with at least one DateTime variable
+2. assign it the value: 2007-04-12 14:30:39.117503+02:00 (or so)
+2. serialize the class to XML on mono under Linux
+3. serialize the class to XML on MS under windows 
+4. compare the string length of the outputs
+
+Actual Results:
+2007-04-12T14:30:39.1175030+02:00
+
+Expected Results:
+2007-04-12T14:30:39.117503+02:00 
+-> notice the missing '0' before the plus sign! 
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
+
+Additional Information:
+Well, 'incompatible' is not really true, since XML serialized can be read
+and deserialized on MS, but sometimes it is important for both sides to be
+exactly the same - as for signing f.e.
