When clipping with two datasets, I don't realize they are in different coordinate systems. FME is completely silent about this and succeeds. It would be nice if there was some indication that my desired result won't happen.

Maybe log that that coordinate systems are different between the features?

I suppose this warning could be given for all spatial overlay transformers.

Yes! I think this is still in the top 10 of errors I often make :)

FME rocks! \m/

Agree, this is a common source for questions in trainings. However, just a flag in the log probably will not suffice since not everybody closely inspects the logfile... I filed a different idea under: Clipper respecting Coordinate Systems
