One of the interesting possibilities is to implement json-to-xml() by creating an optimized tree structure as the representation of the resulting XDM instance. I can imagine this being quite efficient compared with a general-purpose XDM implementation, for example because the @key attribute values are known to be unique. (The current Saxon implementation, however, creates a general-purpose tree.)
