I just noticed that the April 21 working draft of XSLT introduced
xsl:transform as an exact synonym for xsl:stylesheet. This duplication
has continued into the current proposed recommendation. Why was this
done? I can understand preferring xsl:transform to xsl:stylesheet, but
why are there two elements for exactly the same purpose?  Wouldn't it be
simpler to just pick one?
