Part of my problem may be in my understanding of Web.config transformations too. If MonoDevelop is in "debug" configuration for the project, does it not first include Web.config, then apply Web.Debug.config, or is that transformation only done by xsp/mod_mono when a site is deployed? i.e. are transformations applied when merely writing code in MonoDevelop?
