+                 in which small bits of implementation live, such as System.Xml.XPath.XDocument. So

+                 even though you're very unlikely to be calling it at runtime. That's why the following
+                 list (for a very basic Blazor app) is longer than you'd expect.
+
+                 These redundant references could be stripped out during publishing, but it's still
+                 unfortunate that in development mode you'd see all these unexpected assemblies get
+                 fetched from the server. We should try to get the Mono WASM BCL reorganized so that
+                 all the implementation goes into mscorlib.dll, with the facade assemblies existing only
+                 in case someone (or some 3rd party assembly) references them directly, but with their
+                 implementations 100% forwarding to mscorlib.dll. Then in development you'd fetch far
+                 fewer assemblies from the server, and during publishing, illink would remove all the
+                 uncalled implementation code from mscorlib.dll anyway.
