Have a look at
http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/node.html
There is template that generates an XPath for a given node. This is
pretty similar to your desired template.

I need to concatenate the "name" attributes of all of the parents for each
element. All I could figure out was to use a recursive template. Is there a
more straightforward way to accomplish this?
XML:
<Dataset name="root">
<A name="a1">
<A name="a2">
<A name="a3" />
</A>
</A>
<B name="b1">
<B name="b2"/>
</B>
</Dataset>
Desired output:
<fullName>a1</fullName>
<fullName>a1.a2</fullName>
<fullName>a1.a2.a3</fullName>
<fullName>b1</fullName>
<fullName>b1.b2</fullName>
XSL:
<xsl:template name="fullName">
<fullName>
<xsl:call-template name="fullNameWorker" />
</fullName >
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" name="fullNameWorker" mode="fullName">
<xsl:if test=".!=/">
<xsl:apply-templates select=".." mode="fullName"/>
<xsl:if test="..!=/">.</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
