You can use translate, like this, which does a GET of 
/path/to/server?properties=a,b,c
<submission id="lookup" method="get"
                 ref="instance('main')" serialization="none" 
replace="instance" instance="results">
<resource value="concat('/path/to/server?properties=', 
translate(instance('main')/properties, ' ', ','))" />
</submission>

You could also get value=a;value=b;value=c with select/itemset/copy and 
the default serialization for method="get", but XSLTForms doesn't yet 
implement select/itemset/copy.

If you just want to put in underscores but leave the data in XML 
instance data submitted, you can bind the select to a separate instance 
and use bind/@calculate to use the same XPath translate() function to 
place the data format you want into the submitted instance.
