Hi Max,
Yes, this is correct. If you create a named template with the standard
name xsl:initial-template, and if you do not provide an override (i.e.,
instruct the processor to start somewhere else, or use a source document
as input, which would start matching templates processing), then that
template is called:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:text>input doc provided</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template">
<xsl:text>no input doc, no initial template specified</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="other">
<xsl:text>named template 'other' specified</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
See section http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#invoking-initial-template.
Cheers,

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?
