* commented out [Obsolete(....)] attributes where no replacement feature
was available: if we want to attribute code that we think needs to be
reworked, we should define a new attribute and use that instead
(together with a little tool to retrieve all the attributed code then)
* commenting out unused variables
having reached the intermediate level of .NET's XmlSudoku, i've
now figured out how to do deserialization using different
XmlSerializers (this stuff begins to grow on me, sigh).
[still not used code, work-in-progress]
* adding convenience property on OSHttpRequest.cs (from awebb)
having spent the last couple of days wrestling with .NET XmlSerializer
and trying to get it to do what is required by XMPP (RFC 3920 & 3921)
this is the preliminary result of that wrestling (you should see the
other guy!): XmppSerializer allows us to serialize Xmpp stanza (and
theoretically deserialize [or reify] them), XmppWriter helps avoiding
various gratuitous crap added in by off-the-shelf XmlSerializer.
this is currently not used anywhere but the plan is to use it for
at least an XMPPBridgeModule.
