I missed an issue here: Taking an example from the spec: e.employee.(name == "Jim").setChildren(<name>John</name> + <age>35</age>);
or: var employeedata = <name>Fred</name> + <age>28</age> + <hobby>skiing</hobby>; We need a method to concatenate two or more XML objects into an XML object. I see two ways to do this: 1. Add a concat method to XML which returns a new XMLList with the XML object and the value passed in. If we do this, the compiler will not need to differentiate between XML and XMLList. Either one can be on either side of the operator. 2. The compiler will need to create an XMLList for any XML object used. It seems to me that option #1 is simpler and less error prone.
