So that I can find the original place in the source file when I go through the generated XML output. What I mean full XPath is like this: /document/chapter[2]/section[3]/subject[1]/para[2]

Heres the code we use in Schematron (I think from David Carlisle
originally?)
<xsl:template match="*|@*" mode="get-full-path">
<xsl:apply-templates select="parent::*" mode="get-full-path"/>
<xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
<xsl:if test="count(. | ../@*) = count(../@*)">@</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>[</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of
select="1+count(preceding-sibling::*[name()=name(current())])"/>
<xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
(XSLT question are better dealt with on the mulberry XSLT list.)
