It's a huge job to make something like<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.NET or Java cross platform. Leaving it to the mono project to deliver on Linux is only going to make MS own windows implementation look awsome.
The java platform allows unmodified (no port required) bytecode to be run on different platform. Mono cannot promise that, because MS will diverge from their own standard, because they never said that they had to be compatible with someone else's implementation, let alone on a different platform.
