fn:path
This function takes as input a node (defaulting to the context node), and returns an XPath expression defining a path to that node from the root of its containing tree (which must be a document node). The path will use expanded QNames so that it is not sensitive to the namespace context.

Result | xs:string |
path($arg as node()?) ➔ xs:string?
