Solution

You can use this stylesheet. Check if the namespace xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0" is the correct one for your version.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0"
    version="1.0">

    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> 

    <xsl:template match="list-item[../@list-type='order']">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:call-template name="add-attribute-to-list-item">
                <xsl:with-param name="type" select="'Order'"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="list-item[../@list-type='bullet']">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:call-template name="add-attribute-to-list-item">
                <xsl:with-param name="type" select="'SubBullet'"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template name="add-attribute-to-list-item">
        <xsl:param name="type"/>
            <xsl:attribute name="aid:pstyle">
                <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="position() = 1">
                        <xsl:value-of select="concat($type,'-First')"/>
                    </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:when test="position() = last()">
                        <xsl:value-of select="concat($type,'-Last')"/>
                    </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:otherwise>
                        <xsl:value-of select="concat($type,'-Middle')"/>
                    </xsl:otherwise>
                </xsl:choose>
            </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <root><xsl:apply-templates select="root/p"/></root>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The result will be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
