And a version for attributes -

<!-- paths from elements -->
<xsl:template name="elementPath">
  <xsl:for-each select="(ancestor-or-self::*)"
    >/*[<xsl:value-of
select="1+count(preceding-sibling::*)"/>]</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<!-- paths from attributes -->
<xsl:template name="attributePath">
  <xsl:for-each select="parent::*">
    <xsl:call-template name="elementPath" />
  </xsl:for-each>
  <xsl:text>/@</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
