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>!
