<xsl:sequence select="
  $wordArchive !
  ('&lt;entry>' || (map:for-each(., function ($k, $x) {
    if ($k eq 'fetch') then
      ''
    else
      concat('&lt;', $k, '>') || $x || concat('&lt;/', $k, '>')
  })) => string-join('') || '&lt;/entry>') ! parse-xml(.)" />

works, but while this is doubtless a question of aesthetic bias I don't 
consider this solution more elegant than (or preferable to) the XSLT version.
