=2E..Oops, your code didn't work well with current mono library.
There must be something wrong with XmlSerializer class;-)

IMHO, it it impossible to serialize instance fields because we cannot
decide that interface field is of a public class, and we cannot create
instance only from interface information (i.e. without any concrete
class information). Hmm... I wonder how Castor handles such things...
