Northern Shaolin refers to all the styles of the Northern Temple. It would be silly to think the Ten Hand Sets system was all there was.
Yes, there's many Longfist styles that are definitely related, but from what I understand, in the 1800's at least, when people in the north referred to the "Northern Shaolin Style" they were most always talking about what came to be known as Bei Shaolin or Bak Siu Lum. People didn't refer to it that often since it wasn't really in the limelight until Kuo Yu Chang came along.
