Re: [xsl] Anybody know when "transform" became the term for the type ofthing XSLT does?

Thanks for making me smile, David. After my idiot neighbor tried to kill 
me with her huge SUV this morning, I needed it. The bigger the car, the 
less capable the driver, it seems.

Anyway, I use xsl:stylesheet, but I certainly don't like it. Lots of 
people see the "Stylesheet" part of "Extensible Stylesheet Language" and 
assume it's some version of CSS or at least in that "lightweight" league. 
Then I end up defending a powerful language because it's misnamed. 
Extensible Transformation Language would have been much nicer.

  A question: when referring to an XSLT file, is there any other term to
  use than 'stylesheet' that's more accurate? 


"work of art" ?
