How about this?


<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:call-template name="resolver" />
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="resolver" >
  <xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
    <xsl:variable name="currpos" select="generate-id(.)" />
    <xsl:value-of select="concat('/',name())"/>
      <xsl:for-each select="../*" >
        <xsl:if test="generate-id(.)=$currpos">
          <xsl:text>[</xsl:text>
          <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
          <xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:for-each> 
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
