[Mono-list] Porting Rhino to C#

[Guenther Roith]

> Is JScript ECMA compliant?

Not exactly, but mostly.
MS created it once, because they wanted to create JavaScript plus the
all-object for their browser, which is very similiar to the Document Object
Model. Netscape didn't agree and MS had to rename it the JScript.

However JScript.Net has .net optimisations to allow namespaces, classes,
etc.
To take advantage of mono, your compiler would have to do the same, so why
not just stay compatible with JScript.net?

PS: Please keep public messages on the list, they could be helpful for
others.
