Can I avoid using fully functional element names in LINQ to XML?

Let's say I call XElement.Parse () with the following line of XML:

var xml = XElement.Parse(@"
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <AccessControlPolicy xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
    <Owner>
      <ID>7c75442509c41100b6a413b88b523bd6f46554cdbee5b6cbe27bc08cb3f6a865</ID>
      <DisplayName>me</DisplayName>
    </Owner>
    <AccessControlList>
      <Grant>
        <Grantee xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Group">
      ...
  ");

      

        
        
        
      

    

When it comes time to request an element, I am forced to use the fully qualified element names because this XML document contains the attribute xmlns

at its root. This requires cumbersome creations of XName instances:

var AWS_XMLNS = "http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/";
var ownerElement = xml.Element(XName.Get("AccessControlPolicy", AWS_XMLNS)).Element(XName.Get("Owner", AWS_XMLNS));

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I really just want

var ownerElement = xml.Element("AccessControlPolicy").Element("Owner");

      

        
        
        
      

    

Is there a way to get LINQ to XML to accept a specific namespace so I don't need to specify it?
