Not true. Code targetting Microsoft Silverlight may as well depend on
functionality not present in this package. And in fact the only notable
example I remember (the Chinese Olympics videostreams) did.
Again, I'm pointing to wine as an example, since the situation is the same.
wine has this in its description:
"This is still a work in progress and many applications may still not work."
Would you please make that clear? We don't want to deceive our users into
thinking Silverlight is cross-platform, do we?

Not true. Take it from de Icaza himself:
"Microsoft will give us access to the Silverlight specifications: details
that might be necessary to implement 1.0, beyond what is currently published
on the web; [...]"

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
