XCP is Xen Cloud Platform, which means it provides ready-out-of-box 
system. This includes every piece of current installation, includes 
xs-tools.iso, pre-created iso sr and other stuff. When we talking about 
toolstack it must be toolstack, not the 'platfrorm'. We can note XCP in 
description, but definitively not in name.
In our internal documentation I usually call all stuff around xapi 
(includes patched LVM, SM and so on) as xapi-toolstack. I think this 
will make very easy to understand model.
