If I understand correctly, in XSLT 3.0 you can initiate a
transformation at a named template, but you are not required to
provide a name because it uses "xsl:initial-template" as default. This
replaces the convention of using "main" or any other kind of
convention. Is this correct?

Yes, that's correct.

I think this was intended to simplify API design, but to be honest, I can't see 
it helping much, especially as we've added an awful lot of flexibility to the 
ways in which a stylesheet can now be invoked (e.g. by invoking functions 
directly).
