This functionality is more or less there in Dimitre Novachev's "XPath 
Visualizer" available on [1]. He has also worked out a Mozilla version 
but I don't know if that is available yet (I remember there are some 
small things needed to be worked out).

I also recently stubled on a project with the same name [2] written in 
Java but haven't played with it yet.

As far as I know, both sources are open.
