A quick google finds several 1996 papers

http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~dmck/Papers/sgml-europe-96/workshop-others.html
and a discussion list posting

and a couple of marketing announcements
http://www.seyboldreports.com/Bulletin/subs/vol1/BUL0127.HTM
all of which use the term "SGML transformation" as if it is a familiar term.
There's what appears to be a 1995 DSSSL spec at
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~wilensky/CS294/dsssl/html/index.htm
Section 6.3.1 is called "The Transformation Language", section 6.3.2 "The
Style Language".

Subject: [xsl] Anybody know when "transform" became the term
for the type ofthing XSLT does?
Hi everybody. As part of an article, I'm talking about the immediate
prehistory of XSL. I'd be interested in knowing when transformations
became known as transformations. I assume as part of the
DSSSL work? Or
is it a scripting language term? Any ideas? Rather than an OED-style
hunt for the earliest occurrence, I'm really looking for a
sense of when
extract and markup translation (is that a good definition?)
began to be
commonly referred to as a "transformation".
