If you serialize a datetime with a UTC value and then Deserialize it loses the
value of the Kind property. I have attached a sample program to see the bug.
The same program in .NET works correctly.

Compile like this:
gmcs date_serializer.cs  -reference:System.Xml.dll

Output:
Kind before serialization: Utc
Kind after serialization: Local

Should be:
Kind before serialization: Utc
Kind after serialization: Utc
