Subtle differences

Apart from the again taken up discussion I wanted to refer with my post rather to the subtle difference between the 1.0 and 1.1 version of the NET Frameworks: Programs (and concomitantly RssBandit) behave differently, depending upon installed Framework version. So I think, we should decide to get them working the same standard conformant way: need to set its Normalization property to true for .NET 1.0 [see Reading and Writing Wellformed XML]. But what really I hate is this (pseudo-)code:

if (System.Runtime.Version.Major == 1 &&
System.Runtime.Version.Minor < 1 ) {...} else {...}

Isn't this (and variations) enough to have:

if (Environment.OSVersion.Major == 5 &&
Environment.OSVersion.Minor >= 1 ) {...} else {...}

There are really enough differences we have to consider... :-(
