There isn't a built-in function to do it, though we're planning to add
one in XPath 2.0.

But more to the point, your encoding is wrong according to RFC 2396.
Special characters such as "/", "?", and ampersand should be %HH-encoded
only when they are used as ordinary characters, not when they are used
with their special meanings.
