This looks like a transformation that should be based on the identity
template with exceptions:

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

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

<xsl:template match="NodeA">
  <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*[local-name() != 'reason']"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
