Using the patches attached to this email I am now able to serialize on Mono
and deserialize on Windows using ObservableCollections. The only differences
I see between the serializations on each platform is as follows:

i.e. Windows defaults to using the full assembly name and where we use
System.Collections.Generic.IList it uses System.Collections.Generic.List -
I'm not sure how significant this is but it doesn't cause problems
serializing/deserializing on each platform.
