Found. I adapted a function from lxml-tex.lua (chainpath):

function xmlpath( e, nonamespace )
  if e then
    local t = { }
    while e do
      local tg = e.tg
      local rt = e.__p__
      local ns = e.ns
      if tg == "@rt@" then
        break
      elseif rt.tg == "@rt@" then
        if nonamespace or not ns or ns == "" then
          t[ #t + 1 ] = tg
        else
          t[ #t + 1 ] = ns .. ":" .. tg
        end
      else
        if nonamespace or not ns or ns == "" then
          t[ #t + 1 ] = tg .. "[" .. e.ei .. "]"
        else
          t[ #t + 1 ] = ns .. ":" .. tg .. "[" .. e.ei .. "]"
        end
      end
      e = rt
    end
    return table.concat( table.reverse( t ), "/" )
  else
    return ""
  end
end
