Yes, I see that, that's about what I meant by:

For some metatypes, such as File or ExternalFile, it's unclear what
they should behave like, so you should manually set 'behave_like'. But
for ZPT and DTML, wouldn't it be helpful to make the Transform behave
like the type of the transformer by default? Sadists could still
override the default to make them 'behave_like' something else ;>
