Now that broke .ReadOuterXml() for obvious reasons ... 

<tag stuff="foo">

became 

<tag

We really need those to make sure that fixes don't break other
``stuff'' ...

Since XmlDocument does not use these , I'm sure it's not b0rked by
such ... (thank god for ReadNode() )....

I want a ReadStartElement() which seems to be in MS .NET .... And
btw, we should be reading XmlTextReader.Remainder to see what's read
by a single Read() and not the original stream....

So I think your interpretation of the Read() just might be right , could
someone check the following program in .NET please ?... though the mono
implementation is working, that does not mean it's always complete or 
implemented upto spec to use as a reference .....

We should actually stop replicating Mono quirks here and focus on keeping
implementation clean and upto spec ....
