Description

https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/blob/a55e903fdecc19204365c71e581856cc99250611/xml/System.Xml.Serialization/XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute.xml#L44

That seems to suggest it can only be used in a "Web service client proxy", which is completely wrong. It can be used anywhere a fixed set of XML data is to be (de) serialized, and you are willing to trade size for speed.

There are more such misleading comments (referring to e.g. "web"), but I wouldn't want to deprive you of the joy finding and fixing them yourselves.
