Based on BrokenGlass's answer, if you wish to embed the XmlNode to an XmlDocument, than use:

public static class MyExtensions
{
    public static XmlNode ToXmlNode(this XElement element, XmlDocument xmlDoc = null)
    {
        using (XmlReader xmlReader = element.CreateReader())
        {
            if(xmlDoc==null) xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
            return xmlDoc.ReadNode(xmlReader);
        }
    }
}

Note: if you try to insert into a document a node, that is created by a different document, than it will throw an exception: "The node to be inserted is from a different document context."
