Sequence from String-Literal

[florianwendland at freenet.de]

Hallo all,

thanks for the answer before. Now I have an other problem. I want to 
pass a string lietral <a><b>Hello</b></a> to a xquery variable, and 
during the process, I want to convert the literal into a sequence, so 
that for-Expression can iterate over it.

I tried with

	document{ $literal }

but that doesn't work. (Don't ask, I thought, that I read this somewhere 
in a xquery book).

Backgrounf for this approach is passing a string to a eXIst 
XQueryService. There, it is not possible to pass a whole DOM-Object or 
something else. SO I want to fill the variable with a string (in xml 
strcuture) and than convert it into a sequence.

Is that possible?
Thx
