Is it possible in XSLT to get the path to the current node as a string,
maybe change one element and then navigate to the new resulting string?

e.g.
I have two documents I want to merge. The root element has a different
name in each ("structure" and "values") but otherwise the trees -up to
the final leaf nodes- are the same.
I want to visit the nodes in "structure" and use the path to visit the
same nodes in "values", then insert the leaf nodes of values into
structure.

Rather than constructing a complete xpath, I suggest that in each
template you maintain a variable pointing to the corresponding node in
the other document, which you pass as a parameter to the template.
Then use the position() of the current node to get the corresponding
child in the other document.
