I'd tend to say that a stylesheet is something that is used on the client
to provide rendering information not available in the main document (although
this is probably a CSS-centric view). Thus, in the combination of XML and XSL
in IE5, the XSL can be thought of as a stylesheet.

However, if XSLT is used on the server-side to perform transformations, then
they are just that.

This idea is reinforced by the separation of XSLT and XSL-FO - FO specifies
a visual representation of some data, XSLT by itself doesn't.

Having said that, the root element of all of my XSLT docs is <xsl:stylesheet>!
