To further what has been said, I think people tend to call something "chill-out" if it's more conventional. A lot of the Balaeric chill-out compilations feature tracks with pianos, guitars, strings etc. This isn't a rule or anything, merely an observation.

thats not what ambient means. ambience is sourrounding space or environment. ambient music is a kind of music which creates an atmosphere that surrounds you, no rhythm, purposeful melodies, etc are nesesary to create ambient music. thats my take on it anyway..
