<xsl:variable name="x" select="position()"/>

s:AttributeType[position()]
means
s:AttributeType[position()=position()]
so the filter is always true so it is the same as
s:AttributeType

you want


<xsl:variable name="x" select="position()"/>
....
s:AttributeType[position()=$x]
although thi sis actually a strange thing to want as $x is the position
in your for-each which is
<xsl:for-each select="./@*">
and as the order of attributes is system-specific and unspecied your
current position number is essentially arbitrary.
