[DOTNET] Overloading based on ref out parameters. Why not?

The ECMA C# specification says that you can overload based on ref/out parameters. Eg 10.6 interface ITest { void F(ref int x); void F(out int x); } The Microsoft C# compiler used to allow this overload but now it doesn't. Does anyone know why Microsoft made it illegal? If there is a good

I know! But the problem isn't the parser, it's the XmlSchema 'compliant' XmlConvert.ToString(decimal) function. I thought the whole point of the XmlConvert class was to provide XmlSchema compliant conversion functions. And as such, the XmlConvert.ToString(decimal) shouldn't write the exponential
