Also, I have been looking at this file in more detail.

The file itself is encoded with ANSI, but the XML header tag states that the 
XML is in UTF-8.  Is this intentional?

of CAB

Speaking of evil things...  might I make a suggestion that two files be output?

TransformX.wixmst (XML file)
TransformX.wixmst.cab (paired cab file)

This would be super ideal and would help keep separation of concerns for each 
file sane as well.

Or would that break too much stuff?  Can I add a command line argument to split 
these things up?  Would anyone be opposed to that?

No, I'm just busy. :)

If the output contains a file, it's stored as an XML file with a .cab at the 
beginning. There's no option to force WiX to not store the files in the output.
