I have been building a composite application for a client that has a heavy reliance on SPMetal. There are several issues using SPMetal and I have spent time this weekend trying to figure out how SPMetal works so I could work around our issues. I found this project from MS LINQ to SharePoint DSL extensions. Pretty impressive tool.
A few years back I went to Microsoft to hear about Domain Specific Languages (DSL), at the time I thought it was pretty amazing but couldn't see any benefit for me and thought it was going to be pretty niche in fields like academic research. I was wrong and this project is definitely worth a look it you are going to use SPMetal, you may not need or want the extra ability but pretty useful. Olivier Carpentier has written a good user guide & made a pod cast to go along with the unsupported MS project.
