The ECMA standard is a useful starting point for many things in Mono,
but it is not an ultimate reference.  After all we are implementing the
.NET superset instead of the ECMA spec.

On the other hand, we know for a fact that the documentation might be
out of sync with the implementation.  This happens very often with large
projects.

This is a bug in the specification, so lets just move ahead an do the
right thing.  There is no point in waiting for the updated
documentation, we already know its wrong.

I suggest we move ahead with the fix.  

Miguel.
