The input and output of XPath operations are constrained to be values described by the XPath data model. In that sense the language is closed. Whether the data model has the particular mathematical properties you are looking for is something I can't easily judge. There are a few glitches in terms of closure, for example I'm not very comfortable with the fact that the semantics of FLWR expressions in XQuery are defined using a notion of "tuples" which are objects that can't be represented directly in the data model, but overall I think it's pretty clean.
