Remember the tree can be split for this very purpose.
I'm not thinking about the path relative to the root of the tree - only the virtual path commencing from the last locatable concrete element. This narrows the scope of the problem significantly and allows a utility class to present error information in a meaninful way. For example, if a actual element "conf" exists at 10:10 - and apply conf.getChild( "credentials" ).getChild( "password" ).getValue(), then we get a configuration exception showing the concrete node location and a virtual attribute path ./credentials/password/
