I was wondering if there is any example of how to submit the instance to an XPL and have that returned to my Xform so that I can store the returned XML in another instance?
Yes, see the xforms-translate example. It has a submission:
<xforms:submission ref="instance('request-instance')" id="default-submission"
method="post" action="/xforms-translate/post" replace="instance" instance="response-instance"/>
The submission calls post.xpl. The mapping from /xforms-translate/post to post.xpl is in page-flow.xml, all in the same directory.
