Crap.  I was afraid of that.  Any idea of a list where I could ask for this
task?  :)

There is no reason that you can't invoke a Transformer and have it generate
a String as output that contains the path.  The alternative is some basic
DOM programming that uses recursion to work back to the root of the tree
along the same lines of Jeni T's suggestion, but this is the wrong list for
that. :)
