Default XJ frame rot guestion

This 2000 XJ I just bought has a couple of spots that need attention but are not too tough to fix, however there is one spot that has me wondering how it happened. The section of frame where the passenger's side sway bar mounts broke out! Driver's side is still good. My mechanic buddy says he can fix it but it's going to take some innovative welding. He's going to reinforce the other side while he's at it. Anybody ever see this before?

I've never seen it personally, but with all the road salt we deal with, it's not shocking.
