using config file in flow

Simple question, but can't find the answer anywhere.

I want to load an XML config file into memory, and then access its element and attribute values from flowscript using XPath. It will be a different file for each page request (these parameters will be used to help create the response).

Essentially, I'd like to create something like this in the flowscript:

function setParams(uri) {
    cocoon.context.setAttributes("params", -config file data here-);
}

Here's the config file (example):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<params>
    <color>blue</color>
    <size>XL</size>
    <quantity>5</quantity>
</params>

I want to be able to access these parameters like this:

setParams("params/default.xml");

color = cocoon.context.params.color;

Is this possible and if so, how?

Any help greatly appreciated.
