Programmatically constructing sequences ("a", "b", "c") for XQuery

[Adam Retter]

I think the problem is that we are missing the bigger picture of the XQuery.

You have some XQuery and you want to construct a sequence of strings,
how in the XQuery do you get access to the data that you want to form
a sequence of strings from?
