[Mono-devel-list] Patch to mimic MS.Net remoting name mangling

[Lluis Sanchez]

This bug needs a more generic solution. Field names should be encoded
using XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName, since there may be other characters in
the name that are not valid in xml names. For inherited fields, the
serialized name should be "className+fieldName". The binary serializer
already write serialized fields in this way, but the class name is not
being added in the soap serializer (notice that "+" will be encoded to
_002B_ by XmlConvert.EncodeLocalName).
