Maybe you should take another look at the spec where it defines what
cascading means - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#cascade

And the term 'style sheet' predates CSS by many years, so I don't see
what else they could call it.

Can you tell us why you don't think CSS cascades and why you don't
think it's composed of style sheets?
