Take a look at "The XSL Companion, by Neil Bradley (ISBN 0-201-67487-4). It should answer all of your questions, and probably some you haven't asked yet.

Subject: XSL, XSLT terminology -- do you know this stuff well?
I'm unclear on exactly the relationship between the
terms XSL and XSLT. Can someone help? I've checked the
W3C.org site and it's still unclear to me.
For context, we definitely are using XSLT, which is in
the "family" of XSL. (see http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/) Also, the files in
question for our product always end in ".xsl".
1) When if ever would I use a phrase like "in the XSL
files"
2) When if ever would I use a phrase like "in the XSLT
files"
3) When if ever would I use a phrase like "the XSL
template"
4) When if ever would I use a phrase like "the XSLT
template"
5) When if ever would I use a phrase like "the XSL
code"
6) When if ever would I use a phrase like "the XSLT
code"
Thanks for any help! Also, if you can point me to
official documents (W3C or otherwise) that clarify
this, that'd be great in case someone at work
disagrees with me. :-)
