Is it possible to call xml-maven-plugin by passing only the initial template to be executed?

[dandn]

When using the Saxon-HE command line (currently version 10.5), one can make a call as follows: saxon -it -xsl:my-stylesheet.xsl -o:output.xml

For the command above, by default the template with name xsl:initial-template in the specified stylesheet is executed. No file names are needed as input.

Questions:

• Is there any way the xml-maven-plugin can be invoked similarly (using Saxon-HE as a dependency) by passing this -it parameter (or equivalent) and with no dir element in the related transformationSet?
• Is there any way we can specify the output as a single file? Rather than an output dir - the outputDir in the related transformationSet.
