I have been playing with consuming WFS services, both ArcGIS Server generated and others, in ArcMAP. But then I wanted to switch coordinate systems from the default WGS84 (EPSG 4326) to British National Grid (EPSG 27700), and have hit the wall. You can do the proper for WMS very easily, by right clicking on the frame object and then selecting the WMS service layer in the TOC, and then selecting "Change Coordinate System..."

However, I don't seem to find the same or a similar UI to do the proper for my WFS services. Am I missing something? I have checked the documentation to no end, and also the Support website, but I can't find anything that explains how one would do this. Has anyone seen the interface for this? Does it exist, or have I dreamed about it? If this capability doesn't exist, my next stop would be the ideas website.
What happens if you change the data frame's coordinate system? I'm able to reproject a National Weather Service WFS from its native NAD83 to an Albers projection, for instance.

That works. However, you have to change the projection on the Frame before you add the WFS layers. Otherwise, the layers are loaded with an "unknown" projection.
And no, there is no interface similar to the one available in WMS to change the projection. I'm not completely sure why this is, but probably due to the "nature of the beast".
