    The options are as follows (in any order): 
    
    ...
    
    -im modename Selects the initial mode for the 
    transformation. If this is -namespaced, it can be written 
    as {uri}localname
    
    -it template Selects the initial named template to be 
    executed. If this  is namespaced, it can be written as 
    {uri}localname. When this option is  used, the source file 
    should be omitted.

Which would appear to be Saxon specific?
Particularly with 'Selects the initial named template to be executed. If
this is namespaced, it can be written as {uri}localname.' Which is think is
a JC notation?

I was hoping for a WD reference.

I think it would be worthwhile?

<xsl:stylesheet ....
 initial="myns:element" />

or something?
