RE: [xsl] Getting the XPath of a node

["Michael Kay" <michael dot h dot kay at ntlworld dot com>]

<xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(
   '/',
   name(.),
   '[',
   count(preceding-sibling::*[name(.)=name(current())])-1,
   ']')"/>
</xsl:for-each>

(Saxon has a saxon:path extension function)
