I'm kind of surprised, given the pervasiveness of XPath, that it has not integrated into the VS core. This may be because of LINQ, or because of XPath 2.0 which has only recently been put out there earlier this year. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a good opportunity out there for the MVP guys and others to fill the gap and raise the profile of XPath, which once mastered can be immensely powerful! An integrated namespace-aware XPath generator, could also help provide a useful insight into how namespaces work.
