"these APIs are different" is not a very technical description. It
is even close to me misleading.

MS invented a new API to be shared between Windows 8 and
Windows Phone 8.

Exactly what was requested in this thread.

Windows Phone did not get the full version in 8.0.

People that has counted say that WP 8 WinRT has
2800/11000 of what Win8 WinRT has (measured in
public members of the classes).

MS has also stated that they will increase that in 8.1
(already released for Win, soon to be released for WP)
and further increase it in 9.

But some classes may never be in WP. I am skeptical about
namespaces like:
* Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Pnp
* Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice
* Windows.Graphics.Printing
