Running FLOWR on an xml variable as opposed to a xml document

I can successfully run an xquery FLOWR on an xml doc:

for $result in doc(results.xml)////sparql/results/result/binding

where $result/@name="xyz"
return $result

What if i want to run the same FLOWR on a variable instead?

for $result in $results//sparql/results/result/binding

where $result/@name="xyz"
return $result

this does not work. What's the correct syntax?
