I think there is a slightly more up to date version at
  http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N6052.html
which sems to be from a follow-up to the message you quoted.  It has
an extra bit on the end to handle attributes.

However, the template that does the traversal only visits element
nodes, so that is all you get in the output.  To visit attribute nodes
too, try replacing the first template with:

<xsl:template match="@*|*">
<xsl:call-template name="resolver" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*" />
</xsl:template>

or

<xsl:template match="*">
   <xsl:for-each select="@*">
       <xsl:call-template name="resolver" />
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:call-template name="resolver" />
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

(same thing really, just different styles)

Note: watch out for the 'improvement' in the later version which uses
format-number to pad the positions to four digits.  As mentioned, it
will break should your input document go over 9999 nodes at any level.

I'm sure I have seen the same thing discussed on this list within the
last year, with a much more comprehensive solution - anyone else
remember it?
