[Mono-list] Resource System Proposal

[Guy Murphy]

Hiyas.

My understanding of these issues isn't the best, so feel free to correct any
misunderstandings I have.

Consulting the document you provided....

it could also lead to cleaner code, and hence be desirable.

Hmmm, from my point of view drastic is an understatement.

You're advocating moving away from the ECMA spec. I would have hoped that we
would all have some awareness of what this can lead to and why we have need
of the ECMA spec in this domain.

Isn't source compatible with the spec. Given that it's normally MS who gets
slated for breaking specs isn't this all a little ironic comming from an
open source project?

If I'm misunderstanding things, I'm more than happy to be set straight.

Cheers,
