I can think of many ways of improving the Saxon command line, including many
that won't be implemented for backwards compatibility reasons. But I don't
think that guessing which file is the source document and which is the
stylesheet would be an improvement at all.

You shouldn't think of the command line as the only or primary interface to
Saxon. The primary interface is the Java API. You're welcome to create your
own interface on top of that according to your own requirements.
