Re:  Retrieving Complete XPATH from XML File
For the first form, try

<xsl:for-each select="//*">
<xsl:value-of select="string-join(ancestor-or-self::*/name(), '/')"/>
</xsl:for-each>

For the second, try

<xsl:for-each select="//*">
<xsl:value-of select="string-join(ancestor-or-self::*/concat(name(), string-join(@*/concat('[@', name(), ']'), '')),/')"/>
</xsl:for-each>


Not tested and almost certainly needs the punctuation adjusting.
