 their implementation is struggling as well (the MS.NET 1.1 SOAP
 formatter cannot handle 2.0 DateTimes).

+Arghh! Fixing bug #78593 won't solve this problem:
+
+The new ISerializable implementation has to serialize the
+field "ticks" as "long" (for MS.NET), but elder Monos demand a
+"TimeSpan".
+
+So there is no way to fix this issue, unless we break the API
+and make DateTime ISerializable on all profiles.
