Thanks Abel, Andrew and Michael. I think it's a good thing the caller does not need to know how to run a stylesheet, it can just ask the processor "run this thing". Specially useful when there's no input document, or the input comes from functions like doc(), collection() or expath file/http-client. -- Max Toro On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 10:20 AM, Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 1 May 2014, at 04:40, Max Toro <maxtoroq@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> 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.
