I missed an issue here:

Taking an example from the spec:
e.employee.(name =3D=3D "Jim").setChildren(<name>John</name> + =
<age>35</age>);

or:
var employeedata =3D <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.
