I see.  You are saying that *if* the transformer is a DTML Method, make 
the XMLTransform
behave_like DTML Method by default
*if* the transformer is a ZPT, make the XMLTransform behave_like a ZPT 
by default.

I think that is perfectly reasonable.  I will put it on the TODO list 
for the next version...
