[Mono-list] BinaryFormatter serialization accross .NET and Mono

[schmmd]

Hi, I am asking to learn if it is a goal of the Mono project to have
consistent serialization across Mono and .Net with respect to the
BinaryFormatter.  Serialization is the same in some cases.  For example,
serialization of a byte array is the same in .NET and Mono.  However,
serialization of a struct containing a byte array is not.  Consider the
attached program.  In .NET the output is:

151
0100025525525525510000000122000588499112443286101114115105111110614946484648464844326711710811611711410161110101117116114971084432801179810810599751011218411110

However, in mono 2.2 it is:

96
010002552552552551000000012200038499112510002783101114105971081051229711610511111069120971091121081014683116114117991161000511111610410111422000930001530006000212345611

Is this a bug or is consistency between .NET and Mono not a goal?
