RE: How to express in XQuery...

Try:

<users> {
 	for $user in document("...")//users
 	return $user/name/text(), <br/>
} <users>

(for is part of the XQuery expression syntax, thus it needs to be
embedded inside {} inside a constructor.)

Adding a PI then is straight forward (although I am not sure if our
prototype supports that yet).

Best regards
Michael
