This list also includes numbers, so while a sequence of numbers e.g. (1,  
2, 3) is valid as far as XSLT is concerned (and therefore a JSON array  
could easily be converted to a valid sequence), it would be invalid to do  
something like <array><1/><2/><3/></array>, though as per Robert's  
suggestion, you could do something like  
<array><i>1</i><i>2</i><i>3</i></array>.  Of course, if the entire point  
is to enabled to traverse a JSON document in the same way you would  
traverse an XML document (a.k.a XPath), then, once again, it seems to me  
the real problem to solve here is how do we go about traversing a JSON  
document with XPath instead of how do we convert JSON to XML and back  
again.
