+The above patch modifies the ObjectWriter and ObjectReader in
+class/corlib/System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.
+
+This modification checks for the NET_2_0 profile and uses the extra
+DateTimeKind info to both serialize and deserialize the DateTime
+object correctly. This has been tested between MS.NET 2.0 and Mono
+(Linux).
+
+At first it was thought that changing the DateTime class might be
+better. However, this seems to be a cleaner solution IMO.
+
+Note: This patch does NOT rely on Lionel's patch. In fact, this does
+not solve the standard Serialize/Deserialize issues. This only fixes
+the Remoting serialization as MS treats the DateTime as a primitive in
+remoting.
