[xquery-talk] replacing a node in in-memory XML

[Ryan Grimm]

Hi Robert,

I wrote a library to perform this task a while ago.  You can find the 
library and some example calls at: 
http://xqzone.marklogic.com/svn/commons/trunk/memupdate/
I wrote it to be used with the MarkLogic Server so depending on what 
you're using you might need to make a few changes but they shouldn't be 
very major.
