[Mono-list] Encoding Issue .Net vs. Mono

[Diego Frata]

The default encoder for .NET is coherent with the fact that the internal
string representation is Unicode (UTF16). If a future version of .NET is to
change the internal string representation, it might change it's default
encoder as well.

Never rely on this property for interoping strings between different
applications and runtimes. Always choose the encoder you want to use.
