I don't agree. Both runtimes should offer the same behavior.  The problem with
it being limited one one framework and not limited on the other is that this
creates an incompatibility.  If a developer builds and develops their code
under Mono, and then deploys to .NET, their code will fail when deployed on a
different, pseudo-compatible framework.  In that case, the only way to be sure
code will work on either framework would be to build on .NET and test for
compatibility with Mono.

Also, there is no reason to believe that a future version of the DLR will offer
a DynamicObject that supports serialization, but if it ever did, that would be
the time to enable similar behavior on Mono.  Picking and choosing when which
functionality to implement based on design opinions rather than compatibility
defeats the purpose of Mono as a "cross platform implementation of .NET."
