How to convert XML to Array in XQuery?

Consider I have the following data:

let $fruits := <fruits>
    <fruit id="apple" />
    <fruit id="orange" />
</fruits>

how can I use the data in variable $fruits and parse it to become $fruits2 := ('apple', 'orange')?

I have fn:tokenize function in my mind but this only work with string. Thanks in advance for any helps.

Just to clarify, there are no arrays in XQuery 1.0 and 3.0 only sequences. However, it is looking very likely at the moment that XQuery 3.1 will include an array type.

I think this is what you're looking for:

let $fruits2 := $fruits/fruit/@id/data()
