Thank you Leigh for answering this, but it was posted in May 2010! :-)

For the records, I now use fn:string-join in the "resource" element of
the submission element. It gives something like this:

<xf:submission id="here-is-a-great-id" method="get" serialization="none"
replace="instance" instance="instance-response-id">
    <xf:resource value="concat('/some/service/' ,
fn:string-join(instance('instance-request-id')/someressource/key,'_'))"/>
</xf:submission>

That's almost the same as using "translate", obviously.

Thanks!
