Am I doing something wrong because this is not working:

Is that the correct way to call an attribute set conditionally?
Unfortunately, attribute sets cannot be added conditionally. I've
wanted to do this myself in the past.
If you change the attribute set to a called template (no other
changes), then you can put the call to the template in the if.
Doing so takes away the cumulative nature of attribute sets in an
import/include tree, but if that isn't a concern for you, then a
called template should do the trick.
Another drawback of my suggestion is you do not get the feature of
attribute sets where a literal result element's specified attributes
take precedence over the like-named attribute in the referenced
set. To mimic that you'd have to follow the calling template with
attribute instructions that would have been satisfied with specified
attributes.
So attribute sets still have their role, but they can only be
referenced in literal result elements or other attribute sets.
