You can use the name() function (documented in the XPATH specs).

Q; Expansion: What I want to do is log which element had the error and
the value that was erroneous.

The output looks like this:
<P>Error: <Product/>=Coat<P>
or
<P>Error: <Product>=Coat</Product><P>

What I want is this:
<P>Error: Product=Coat<P>
You can use the name() function (documented in the XPATH specs)
to get access to the name;

 try <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>

Given:
<stocks>
  <stock>
    <symbol>xyz</symbol>
    <price>123</price>
  </stock>
  <stock>
    <symbol>abc</symbol>
    <price>234</price>
  </stock>
  <stock>
    <symbol>pqr</symbol>
    <price>345</price>
  </stock>
</stocks>

I want to write an XSL for this which will read the tags and their
value dynamically.
Something like:


to generate:

  symbol = xyz ; price = 123 ; symbol = abc ; price = 234
  
Try:

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:for-each select="stocks/stock">

<xsl:for-each select="*"/>
     <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
      <xsl:text> = </xsl:text>
      <xsl:value-of select=".">
<xsl:text> ; </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
