That's not quite correct. -xt- commands do not insist on a time variable. Notice that even the help for -xt- muddies the issue. It explains that panel data have an explicit time component, except that there need not be a time variable at all! Definitions are usually tricky. I once read a definition of soil: soil is anything so designated by a competent authority. (Geologists and agronomists, for example, have very different ideas about what soil is in essence, or even in practice. U.S. readers may want to translate "soil" as "dirt".)
