Once some non-technical people I worked with referred to them as 'xsl
scripts' which was awful and something I had to put right.  But calling
them stylesheets is just as bad as it conjures up images of a
lightweight language that is a second class citizen.  It's frustrating
because there is no styling involved whatsoever.  Maybe some sculpting,
shaping or constructing, but no styling.  Maybe it's because x-s-l-t
doesn't exactly roll off the tongue and 'stylesheet' is simply easier to
say... Maybe had the acronym been XTL or TLX (or any other combination
of the 3) we would all laugh at the suggestion of calling our art
'stylesheets'.
