This leads to the obvious follow-on suggest: Since the XG-2 signal  
generator is used to calibrate the RF gain and the S-meter, why not  
include the XG-2 generator as an internal feature of future versions  
of the K3 (or K4)?

Great idea!

Perhaps it could be done in firmware?

Not very useful, if you ask me. This is not a feature for everyday use, is it?
I have an XG-2, the RF gain and S-meter have been calibrated once and for all.
AND I can help other hams calibrate their K3's or whatever transceivers...
Who needs a car with an on-board diagnostic tester?

Most cars built since the 1990's have on board sensors that record
engine failure data, and collision impact data.  These sensors report
the data to the diagnostics console when it is attached.  Collision
impact sensors trigger your air bags...

Don't forget there is a computer in your automobile and it is
processing data all the time the ignition is on.

Comparing a K3 to a car is not really accurate, except that each has
an onboard computer. ;o)
