"The ECMA 334 and 335 specifications describe the core C# language, including information about standard libraries that must be available in any compliant implementation. However, there are several libraries that are included with Mono, and commonly used by applications like Tomboy, that are not required by the standard. And just to be clear, we're not talking about Windows-specific libraries like ASP.NET and Windows Forms. Instead, we're talking about libraries under the System namespace that provide common functionality programmers expect in modern programming languages: binary object serialization, regular expressions, XPath and XSLT, and more.
Because these libraries are not defined in the ECMA specifications, they are not protected in any way by Microsoft's Community Promise."
Da die FSF weder ein "Mono-Hater" ist, noch dafür bekannt ist ihre Fakten schlecht zu recherchieren glaube ich ihrer Aussage erst einmal.
Da ich mich aber nicht nur auf die Aussage der FSF verlassen wollte, habe ich im ECMA335 (und 334) mal schnell nach den Begriffen "regular expression", "XPath" und "XSLT" gesucht und konnte nichts dazu finden.
