Yes, it's okay to post partial changesets for review.

For the second part, I think this is a very welcome and long-desired
feature, so I suggest that we discuss its projected abilities and the
way it will be exposed to Lisp before you finalize the implementation.
There are quite a few potential features in Emacs which could be based
on something like that, and are basically blocked by our current
inability to do it, so IMO we should at least have a more-or-less full
list of those client features before us, as a prerequisite for
discussing the implementation.

Thanks!
