This was basically the bait that got me to sell my soul to the Dark Side :-)
(Although nobody talked about what is now called LINQ/XLinq at my interview,
I could read the tea leaves that somethin' frickkin wow was in the works)

There are axes that let you iterate over content in a way that sees the
markup, and those that let you just see the content.

Thanks for the suggested use case. Any tool that can help cage that kind of
beast is bound to generate some interest.

Hmm, like what? So far the internal developer experience, and my
experience trying to balance the DOM and XLinq story at PDC, has not
indicated that very many people look back longingly at the XML technologies
of the previous centrury :-) MS does need to have a clear story on how
XLinq trees can be converted back/forth to DOM trees, how XSLT can be used
on XLinq trees, etc. No plans or promises, but I do want to hear about real
scenarios where we might cause developer pain as people move to or mix/match
XLinq with other XML technologies.

That's a serialization, XLinq is a data model. XLinq shouldn't care whether
the bits on the wire are XML 1.0, some proprietary binary XML thingie, or an
eventual EXI standard. But thanks for the reminder, I'lll try to make sure
that there's a pluggable reader/writer architecture planned for XLinq (as
well as SAX/DOM).

I agree that's an important scenario, do you have a pointer to your C|Net
reply?
