Plinqo's own declarative LinqDataSource to replace Microsofts LinqDatasource

The current microsoft LinqDatasource is limited and Plinqo is great in 
adding the features we need to use L2S as a full featured ORM as it does 
not seem that Microsoft will be enhancing L2S much infavor of Entity 
Framework wich may be ok in the future but is bloated and slow even 
in .net 4.0 and who knows how long EF will survive, it seems to be 
Microsofts trend to make bloated complex frameworks such as Enterprise 
Library which seemed good at first but again hard to use bloated and 
tossed away.  I would defenitely like to see continued dev in Plinqo as a 
complete replacement for Microsofts L2S where customers have confidence 
that Plinqo will stay around and not disappeer.  

Ok on to the feature request, currently to fully use the features of 
Plinqo writing code is necessary, I would like to see CodeSmith and Plinqo 
develop its own declarative Plinqo datasource that take advantage of all 
the features of Plinqo such as many to many, futures, ect.  So that we can 
avoid writing code and do all of our databinding declaritively.  Dynamic 
Data is coming along and can be a way to do this but even with that you 
still have to write code to take advantage of Plinqo's features.

I believe this would be a tremendous feature, Plinqo is great please 
continue the great work in supporting L2S.

Thank you, 

Daniel
