I see your point. How about XDoclet issuing a warning if it suspects
something is wrong/inconsistent? Example:

If you specify <localinterface/> and no view-type="local|both" in any beans
you'll get a warning.
Likewise if you specify at least one view-type="local|both" and no
<localinterface/>.

The ultimate goal here is to help people do the right thing.
