Not yet.  We haven't had much development time available recently to get 
this done, but that will change soon.

The planned implementation will allow you to write:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<?metal use-macro="here/master/macro"?>
<html...

This will cause the entire document (apart from any fill-slots) to be 
replaced with the referenced macro.  During source expansion, the 
processing instruction is re-inserted into the macro text directly 
before the first tag (if any).
