The following XML PATH query should get you most of the way. You just need to add the stylesheet header.

SELECT 
'BusinessEntityID' AS 'document/field/@name'
,   BusinessEntityID AS 'document/field'
,   '' AS 'document'
,   'documentType' AS 'document/field/@name'
,   PersonType AS 'document/field'
,   '' AS 'document'
,   'Title' AS 'document/field/@name'
,   Title AS 'document/field'
,   '' AS 'document'
,   'FirstName' AS 'document/field/@name'
,   FirstName AS 'document/field'
,   '' AS 'document'
,   'MiddleName' AS 'document/field/@name'
,   MiddleName AS 'document/field'
,   '' AS 'document'
,   'LastName' AS 'document/field/@name'
,   LastName AS 'document/field'
,   '' AS 'document'
FROM @Person
FOR XML PATH(''), ROOT('documents')
