Nope;  the compound / composite stuff is not close enough to ready.

  - Thomas Olsen's CMFArticle is a nice implementation for "simple"
    compounds, for which "containment only" semantics are appropriate.

  - Composites which allow "repurposing" (sharing elements across
    multiple composites) require a significantly different architecture;
    we need to see if there is some possibility of uniting the two,
    but need more time.  ZC has several ongoing projects which involve
    this style of composite;  we plan to factor out common bits into
    something generally useful, but not for 1.3.
