Googling around though, shows "top-level element" refers to
both the single root element of an xml document (in error
messages), and the top-level child elements in xslt.... One
must be wrong.
No, the word "set" has about 43 meanings, and none of them is wrong. You
just have to be clear about your context. Unfortunately, google isn't.
I did try to get rid of the term in XSLT 2.0. It's still used (and defined),
but most of the time has been replaced by "declaration". Top-level element
is a slighly broader category that embraces declarations and user-defined
data elements. XML schema uses the term in much the same way, with "global"
as a near synonym.
