Use
         <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:number level="any"/></xsl:variable>

And instead of the xsl:choose and ancestor check you could simply write 
different templates e.g.
   <xsl:template match="body/sect">
      <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:number level="any"/></xsl:variable>
      <sect1 id="sect{$pos}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </sec1>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="body/sect/sect">
      <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:number level="any"/></xsl:variable>
      <sect2 id="sect{$pos}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </sec2>
   </xsl:template>
and so on for the other levels.
