The external logic might go into the external function.

Yes, but by writing it this way you make your application:
(a) much simpler and

I understand. That' why I proposed you to use only the searching/pattern
part of XQuery, and use external functions for the action. I guess the

can be said about XSLT.
XQuery's goal is not *only* to generate XML documents, it's only a part
of the
game.
