           Summary: [xslt 3.0] Avoid the term "overlap"

In a number of places we use the term "overlap" to describe a relationship
between trees (or their roots) in the sense that two trees overlap if they have
nodes in common.

The term is unfortunate (a) because overlap implies a more complex relationship
than containment, and (b) there's a whole literature devoted to overlap in
markup which is to do with handling of non-hierarchic relationships, and our
use of the term is quite unrelated to this.

See current discussion on xsl-list.
