With that said Patrick. Would you expect that we would have a Castle.ActiveRecord.Web.dll or Castle.ActiveRecord.AspNet.dll and if for some reason we had WinForms specific code it would go in Castle.ActiveRecord.WinForms.dll? The same thing would happen with log4net (log4net.dll, log4net.Web.dll/log4net.AspNet.dll).
Your points are making things a little clearer now if you categorise ASP.NETas a non-essential optional .NET component.
