... or based on other content of the xml doc -- you may have there geo 
positions and send it to the appropriate server.

Yes, if you load it you can do it. For example, next piece of config is 
valid as well:

$xml(a=>doc) = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><presence 
entity="abc"><mynode>abc</mynode></presence>';

xlog("$xml(a=>xpath:/presence/mynode)\n");

Probably not very clear in my first email, but you can change the xml 
content:

$xml(a=>xpath:/presence/mynode) = "123";
 
Note that if you assigned the sip message body to $xml(name=>doc), body 
does not get changed, the operations are done on a replica.

Cheers,
Daniel
