What about page compontents?

To make the confusion perfect I'll add more terms:

   * Layout - used for different presentations of a page? [1]
     the complement of a layout is a (XML)page holding the structure?
   * Template - used for creating layouts, pages, etc.?
   * Document - is it different from a page?
   * Site -  "a collection of pages that forms a cohesive whole"
   * Site components - ?
   * Stylesheet - CSS, XSL [2]
   * ...
