I might write any arbitrary functionality in a XSLT stylesheet. For
e.g., I might add two numbers in a XSLT stylesheet. "Stylesheet" is a
generic term given to the grammar:
<xsl:stylesheet
etc ..
</xsl:stylesheet>
My personal opinion is, that the term "Stylesheet" is fine and caters
to all sorts of things we can write in this grammar.
