I shouldn't have listed this as a major defect, because there are 
already alternative options for selecting a coordinate system (e.g. 
using EPSG code or proj4 definition). Its more of an inconvenience.

If I go through the location wizard and choose the "select EPSG code of 
a coordinate system" option, I can navigate through the list, chose a 
UTM projection using the NAD83 datum (e.g. Zone 10 N). After hitting the 
next button I am given the option to choose my datum transformation 
option. The first option says it is the default used in the whole nad83 
region (towgs84 = 0,0,0). However this default datum transformation 
option is not available when I go through the "Select Coordinate System" 
option using location wizard.

I guess I was expecting a "default" datum transformation parameter when 
creating a location using the choose coordinate system option, similar 
to how it exists with the select EPSG code option.

I have only noticd this with NAD83 projections so far.
