Hello.

I'm exploring the concept of generics in C# 3.0, particularly how they might relate to XML types. I'm having trouble grasping the connection described in MattWar's blog, which suggests generics and XML are fundamentally linked. While I understand how generics allow parameterized specialization of classes (like a list of ints, longs, or custom objects), the example of XML generics like "Foo<int x="...">" confuses me. Is it parameterization, an attribute, element constraint, or class conversion? I don't see the advantage over generating classes from XSDs. I'm curious about how XML generics might be tied to schemas for constraining parameter values and eager to learn more about this potentially paradigm-shifting concept.
