You're describing VFR over-the-top. VFR-on-top, aka IFR over-the-top, is an IFR operation.
No, composite flight plans are for flights where one portion of the flight is under VFR and another portion is under IFR. VFR-on-top is an IFR operation all the way, but while assigned VFR-on-top the pilot operates at appropriate VFR altitudes, maintains VFR conditions, and is responsible for all separation from other aircraft.
Ok, got it. Thanks for the clarification.
