Indeed.  For the UBL 2.0 Order there are 880,000 possible elements 
and attributes without duplicating any XPath address from the 
document node to the reported item.

Accordingly, I wrote stylesheets to create XPath files from arbitrary 
instances:

... as the XPath reports useful for writing stylesheet and citing 
content are more manageable when limited to only an instance.  But 
they are also more fragile compared to, say, the UBL schemas which 
have not changed in over three years.
