Available as:
xmlChar * xmlGetNodePath(xmlNodePtr node);
in libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/)
http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#XMLGETNODEPATH
Note of course that there isn't "the" XPath string to select that node
there is an infinity of those. 2 implementation could return different
path and both be right.
