As far as I understand your use case, i twould already be covered by my 
original proposal: you always have the option to locally override what's 
specified in the working set.

But I do agree that it should be possible to rely on other working sets, 
e.g. Grok application develoeprs relying on the Grok working set which 
in turn relies on a Zope working set.
