It might be worth pointing out that an alternative name for this
technology is "transform[ation]" (which is what the "T" in "XSLT" stands
for). You can have <xsl:stylesheet> or <xsl:transform> interchangeably
as the top-level element. It might make more sense to your audience to
explain XSLT as a mechanism for converting data from one form to
another, rather than as some clever stylesheet language.
