Yes it should (wait for CAS).

Now if you don't need CAS (or have your own security mechanism in place
to avoid downloading/running arbitrary code) you can simply download the
assembly locally and load/execute it(*)

runtimes.

You'll find general, high-level, roadmaps on the wiki
http://www.mono-project.com/
but for very-specific details (like method-level plans) you better dig
up the mailing-list archives.
