Why exactly useless? I haven't used it yet but is seems like something
useful. Doesn't it work?

If you could do it, that would be very nice. I don't need it done
urgently.

What would be interesting is to mimic the behaviour of <xsp:expr> : 
there are a number or rules that lead to the production of XML content
