Anyway, I find both LINQ and the XML API non-elegant, like a hack on
C# with an API of sorts instead of extending the language with native
XML support. Why no language hasn't got XML as a native datatype yet
is the truly absurd thing. Everybody use XML, yet no language has got
it in its fabric.

VB.NET has XML literals mapping to the LINQ to XML types like XDocument and XElement. And JavaScript has E4X, native XML and XMLList data types.
