In the general case, the answer is no, there is no such method. In the general
case there isn't even a one-to-one mapping between elements, which you seem to
be assuming.

Of course, if your XSLT stylesheet consists entirely of template rules with a
very simple form, such as

<xsl:template match="employee">
  <person>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </person>
</xsl:template>

then you might be in luck; translating the XPath expression might simply be a
case of renaming the element names.
