My first thought would be to do something like

:au InsertEnter *.xquery :set isk+=-
:au InsertLeave *.xquery :set isk-=-

It doesn't catch the edge-case if you hit ctrl+C in insert-mode
(so you'd have to manually remove the "-" from 'isk' in that
case; see the note at ":help InsertLeave" about ^C).

From some basic testing, it seems to do what you want: in
insert-mode, ^N/^P expansions treat "-" as part of a word,
expanding whole XQuery tokens; in normal-mode, you get "word"
motions interrupted by the "-" characters.

HTH,
