Out of curiosity, what other stylesheets might he be talking about if not
for the web?

You can use stylesheets to publish to any format.

Publishing to HTML is but one of many potential forms.

Books, databases, repair manuals, box labels, speech ...
are useful formats that have nothing to do with the web.

Word processing packages can have stylesheets, desktop-publishing
packages too. XML has stylesheets (like XSLs). I bet that the term
stylesheet comes from a pre-computer term, but I can't find a reference
to it on the web - too many hits for web-related things.

ObPerl: ...and perl can probably do a lot with some of those kinds of
stylesheets :-)
