The W3C applets at http://www.w3.org/2010/02/qt-applets/ will do this.

You would have to be insane to write it by hand. Here is the XQueryX
equivalent of "2+2":

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xqx:module xmlns:xqx="http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX
                                http://www.w3.org/2005/XQueryX/xqueryx.xsd">
  <xqx:mainModule>
    <xqx:queryBody>
      <xqx:addOp>
        <xqx:firstOperand>
          <xqx:integerConstantExpr>
            <xqx:value>2</xqx:value>
          </xqx:integerConstantExpr>
        </xqx:firstOperand>
        <xqx:secondOperand>
          <xqx:integerConstantExpr>
            <xqx:value>2</xqx:value>
          </xqx:integerConstantExpr>
        </xqx:secondOperand>
      </xqx:addOp>
    </xqx:queryBody>
  </xqx:mainModule>
</xqx:module>
