XLink, XQuery, XInclude etc

[Sergey Numerov]

Of the numerous XML standards, the classes of System.XML
support only XPath, XML Schema and DTD.

If I want to exploit XLink, XInclude or XQuery, can .NET
offer me anything? Are there third-party libraries that
are compatible with some/all of the mentioned standards?

How is programmatic processing of XML data that utilzes
some/all of the above typically done?

Thanks in advance,

Oleg has an XInclude implementation [0]. Microsoft has an XQuery demo, which
is pretty old by now [1]. There will be full XQuery support in the .NET
Whidbey release, but the standard has yet to complete the W3C recommendation
process. I am not sure about XLink though.
