makes sense because a styesheet can have multiple templates.
There is no necessity for having multiple templates. My own primary
reason for using "-it templatename" is that in our production
environment, we never use the default input, instead some configuration
file is passed on by system property, which in turn contains some
catalog-style references to the sources, which are then read in with
fn:unparsed-text() (we use XSLT for importing structured text, not XML,
which cannot be the principal input).
Other usages are a stylesheet that does not need any input (or only some
parameters), i.e., a calculation stylesheet, or the 99-bottles problem,
or a stylesheet that summarizes the online traffic jams by url. Neither
need have multiple primary named templates, but do require an initial
template (well, "require" is too strong a word).
