It might be, if there are many rough edges and gotchas, that this would 
have to be considered a tool that does 95% of the work during design 
time and the designer must clean up the rest.  The building the stack 
might be considered an easy way to spec the fancy group.

An alternate approach I have pondered is a control that puts a picture 
of some card of the stack in an image an collects events to the image 
and distributes them to the stack.  The stack might be open, but 
invisible.  Maybe the work in repeatedly taking pictures is too heavy 
and if you take pictures only after events, then moving and pulsating 
gets lost.
