MSI already has the reduced UI level which seems about what you're asking for, but ARP doesn't use it.

This is an academic discussion here.

I don't think it would be as bad as your claim suggests. If for example a modeless dialog called MsiBasicSetupProgress were used when available, this dialog could show simple customizations an ISV might want (logos, images, fonts) without using the UI sequence. Of course extra buttons on this dialog could launch custom actions that exceed these limitations, but that would require a user to click on them first. -- Michael Urman -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

That's a Windows Installer decision. If it changes, it'll change because of them, not the WiX toolset.
