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?
