How to test XELement and its child elements?

I have a sample Xml code snippet

<modification name="givenName" operation="add" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core">
    <value>Changed name</value>
</modification>

The xml is loaded to my XElement, and I used 

        XElement xml = ...to load xml above...;
        xml.Should().HaveAttribute("name", "givenName")
            .And.HaveAttribute("operation", "add")
            .And.HaveAttribute("xmlns", "urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core")
            .And.HaveElement("value");

to test my code, the attributes testing are all passed, but the element testing (the last condition) fails.

Anyone can point out what is wrong with my code?

And how can I test the Xml has an element named "value" and its value is "Changed name"?

Thanks in advance!

It's going to be part of Fluent Assertions 2.1. If you can't wait you can get it through the Git repository

I suspect the problem is that the XName of the element isn't just value - it's value with a namespace. Presumably HaveElement is namespace-aware. Try this:

XElement xml = ...to load xml above...;
XNamespace ns = "urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core";
xml.Should().HaveAttribute("name", "givenName")
    .And.HaveAttribute("operation", "add")
    .And.HaveAttribute("xmlns", "urn:oasis:names:tc:DSML:2:0:core")
    .And.HaveElement(ns + "value");

The last line checks whether it's got the namespace-qualified element.
