There is no such thing as an SL development environment, SL is a runtime and VS and Expression are the primary development environments. Semantics aside though, I just dont see it. Developing an SL runtime is not an easy task, it would take a large team at the very least a year to put one together. I could buy a situation where MSFT hands over the SL runtime source to Apple who then takes it over as part of some long term agreement to guarantee SL apps run on all Apple devices but that is about it.

Developing an SL runtime is not an easy task, it would take a large team at the very least a year to put one together. Not true if there's cooperation from the MS development team. There would be compelling reasons for such cooperation. Flash is Silverlight's incumbent competition, after all.
