Workflow / Aggregation / XPL Question

Is the response from the first step in your workflow a task that passes your
XForm to a webservice and retrieves some results back from it, which is then
passed back to the form?

You can also replace the entire document with the XML result (repace="all")
or you can replace an instance(your response instance).

Just my thoughts. Not very useful to your questions

You can only send one XML document through an xforms:submission. So
with an xforms:submission you will need ot aggregate both document in
a single instance before you can send it.

You can use xxforms:call-xpl() from XPath expressions in XForms
(typically an xforms:insert), which lets you call XPL pipeline with
multiple inputs. You can find more on this here:

I hope this helps,

Alex
