I do...even though it makes far more sense to use the latter!)

You could use <xsl:transform> for a data-centric stylesheet(?) and <xsl:stylesheet> for a stylesheet that creates an XSL-FO document or something similar.


This would indicate what kind of stylesheet it is; but it may confuse many people, that don't know the alias <xsl:transform>.
