Yes. It's not a very smart design. The code does

<xsl:result-document href="file:///{$dir}/play.html" format="play">

I think that's a hangover from the past: this hasn't been touched for a long

No, I don't distribute this file. The reason is that Jon Bosak asks for it
not to be distributed except as part of the complete collection. So you have
to download it from Jon Bosak's original distribution.

I've no idea how your GUI client works, unfortunately.
