I've noticed the the Muenchian method uses '|' and that everyone refers
to this as a Union.  However, I also read that this

<xsl:template match="foo | foobar">

means to match the foo OR foobar elements.  Does the definition of the
operator change based on the application?

Matching "foo | foobar" gives you the union of the set of all foo with the set of all foobar. You can read it as "OR", but it's still a union operator. XPath has a separate "or" operator, but that's not the same thing.
