With XSLT/XPath 3 there is a far more elegant and efficient method. Just add the following template:

   <xsl:template match="p/@outputclass[not(contains-token(.,'BAZ'))]>
    B B B  <xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}" select=". || ' BAZ'"/>
   </xsl:template>

(see https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#func-contains-token) and your template for p can merely be:

   <xsl:template match="p">
      <xsl:copy>
    B B B  <xsl:apply-templates select="@*,node()" mode="#current"/>
      </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

and if you're using

<xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>

you won't even need the second template.
