Well, the answer is yes - though at this point I'm afraid I start wishing
the code was written in XSLT rather than XQuery: XSLT makes recursive
traversal of a tree so much easier. But you can do it: write a recursive
function that you apply to a node, and which calls itself to process the
children of the node.
