That should be possible. The entire document tree is available, and can 
be traversed and modified, so it is easy to inspect and change the XML 
in a structured way. Of course you can create new XML trees from 
scratch, too. And you can also access the internal or external DTD, so 
that your program knows the validity constraints which are in effect.

You might wish to take a look at the catalog.q example, it shows how to 
create an XML tree from Q data and then transform it using xslt, I think 
that this is what you need?
