I have used this pure XSLT 1.0 code ,since 2003, for building an XPath
expression to any kind of node: not only to an element but to a text
node, to a processing instruction, to a comment, to an attribute and
even to a namespace node:

If I want to return the XPath path to a specific node when that node is
the context node, is there a better way than:
<xsl:sequence
select="string-join(ancestor-or-self::*/concat('/',name(),'[',for $x in .
return count(preceding-sibling::*[name() eq $x/name()])+1,']'),'')"/>
"Better" here means "more efficient"; I'll be using various Saxon 9.*
for this, either in oXygen or from java.
With Saxon there is
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/path.xml.
I haven't checked exactly however for which versions of Saxon 9.* it
is available.
Thank you!
I haven't, either, but can burn that bridge on Monday. (and check that
saxon:path() really is faster for the data-set in question than the
above. I'll be really surprised if it's not.)
