[XQZone General] Element repacement function?

[Tim Finney]

I want to write a function for replacing an element within an XML
fragment. The arguments would be the XML fragment, the element that
needs to be replaced, and the replacement, which might have mixed
content. The function should return the fragment with the substitution
in place.

E.g. repl($fragment, $fragment/a/b, <c>Mixed <d>content</d></c>)

Can it be done without using xdmp:node-replace()?

Best
