In the (extremely | likely) event that it runs in an environment which doesn't support such | functionality, default mapping could avoid all the modal dialog boxes. then we're definitely thinking about different environments. Most of my transformations run inside server-side publishing frameworks or server-side database processing or server-side B2B XML message transformation. I test my transformations (and occasionally the extensions they may need to depend on) before putting them in production and don't want runtime "surprises". I can see that from a command-line in a document production environment or from within a visual XSL tool, such user-interaction might be desireable.
