Returns
An IEnumerable<T> of XNode that contains every element in the source collection, and the descendant nodes of every element in the source collection.
Remarks
Although Visual Basic has an integrated XML axis for descendant elements, there is no integrated axis for descendant nodes, so Visual Basic users must use this axis method explicitly.
This method uses deferred execution.
