[Mono-winforms-list] WebBrowser - ObjectForScripting and window.external

I have a WinForm app I am working on that uses the WebBrowser and requires
the use of both ObjectForScripting to call into the browser and
window.external to call out of the browser from javascript on the web page.

As I understand it - ObjectForScripting will work fine on all platforms
(Win/OSX/Linux), however window.external will not according to the
documentation here: http://www.mono-project.com/WebBrowser 

As I don't completely understand the browser implementation architecture, I
have a couple questions:
1) Is it true that window.external is not supported now?
2) Is it true that there are architectural limitations which mean it will
NEVER be supported?

Basically what I want to know is - will it be possible to use this solution
at some time in the future, or is it certain it will never be supported. If
it's the latter, I need to look at other implementation languages.

Thanks.
