Silverlight on Linux

Ryan Paul is claiming over on arstechnica that Miguel (aka. the mono guy) is planning on bringing Silverlight to Linux:

"Mono project lead developer Miguel de Icaza says that the Mono development community plans to have an experimental Linux-based Silverlight browser plug-in ready for testing by the end of the year. Silverlight, Microsoft's new .NET-based technology for rapid development of interactive rich media applications, is currently only supported on Windows and Mac OS X. The Mono developers intend to use the documentation published by Microsoft to create a plug-in that is compatible with Silverlight 1.1, which is currently still in early stages of development. "

Unfortunately, he doesn't cite any of his sources for this claim, but Miguel does seem very interested in Silverlight lately so it wouldn't suprise me.
