It is possibly only with NetDataContractSerializer and cannot be
done with DataContractSerializer. Since NetDataContractSerializer
sucks in general (there is no point of using it instead of runtime
serialization), the priority is low at my hands. Indigo's "design
by contract" concept is becomes almost implicit (== practically
broken) when ISerializable objects are involved.

Probably you could try runtime serialization with Soap formatter:
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap
