I understand how XPath works. I was trying to hint that we don't really need
to use XPath when there are plenty of other methods available in XmlNode and
friends that do everything we're using XPath for.

My gripe against VS.NET is that it's forcing us to use namespaces in order
to get the IntelliSense feature. To me, that's a deficiency in VS.NET.
