A preliminary test suggests that this modification will work.

I made the following changes to xsltforms.js, all to the function
XsltForms_input.prototype.initinput.

1 After the line reading 'initinfo.mode = “none”;’, I inserted

	/* MSM 20170206 add initinfo.Xsltforms_usersetup property to allow user contributions to setup() */
	initinfo.Xsltforms_usersetup = (initinfo.Xsltforms_usersetup ? initinfo.Xsltforms_usersetup : function (ed) {} );

2 In each of the two versions of initinfo.setup I added a call to
initinfo.xsltforms_usersetup(), so the first lines of the assignment
read

		initinfo.setup = function(ed) {
			/* MSM 20170206 user exit for setup() */
			initinfo.Xsltforms_usersetup(ed);

In addition, in the XForm itself, I changed the content of
the xsd:appinfo element for simple type ‘standardHTML’,
so that instead of supplying a setup property, it supplies
a property named Xsltforms_usersetup.

The result can be seen at [1].  There is a great deal of room
for improvement, but the buttons are showing up, and the
functions associated with them are executing.  (I have not
attempted any thorough testing.)

Alain, is it feasible to integrate this (or a better) way of allowing
user input to the TinyMCE setup() function in the production version
of XSLTForms?  What do you think?

best,

Michael
