You could use <xsl:transform> for a data-centric stylesheet(?) and
<xsl:stylesheet> for a stylesheet that creates an XSL-FO document or
something similar.
This would indicate what kind of stylesheet it is; but it may confuse
many people, that don't know the alias <xsl:transform>.
I think 'stylesheet' is the wrong term all round really. Even when you
are creating an FO document you are still transforming one xml document
into another - the result happens to be a stylesheet but the process is
still an XML transformation.
I guess it's just an historical thing that's stuck when we use
xsl:stylesheet and call them stylesheets.
A question: when referring to an XSLT file, is there any other term to
use than 'stylesheet' that's more accurate?
