There is no such element type as xsl:attribute-value as far as I know.
It would be very useful for those of us who write documentation if you
could let us know where you found it.

What you need is

   <tr>
     <xsl:if test="ORDERSTATUS='Completed'">
       <xsl:attribute name="class">
         <xsl:text>trCompleted</text>
       </xsl:attribute>
     </xsl:if>
     ...whatever else...
   </tr>

I am assuming the <ORDERSTATUS> really is the name of an element type,
and not the name of an attribute, and that it is a child element of the
context in which this template is fired.

If you are repeating this structure for other values, consider making
the class value the value of ORDERSTATUS, eg

   <tr class="tr{ORDERSTATUS}">
     ...
   </tr>
