parse form data to XML

[David A. Lee]

Probably not the most elegant way ...

==========
declare variable $s := 
"v1=v1&a1=a1&v2=v2&a2=a2&v3=v3&a3=a3" ;

let $a := tokenize($s , "&" )
for $i in 0 to xs:integer(count($a) div 2 - 1)
   return <row attr='{ tokenize( $a[$i * 2 + 1 ] , "=" )[2] }'>{ 
tokenize( $a[($i * 2) + 2 ] , "=" )[2] }</row>

==========
