Haven't looked at it, but I'd say yes.  However, Alan Donovan
has replied recently, with a recipe showcasing his particular
use case.  I dont' have time to try it right now, but if you
could try his recipe/use case with your solution, it would be
great.

One note that I didn't yet reply to is that IMO (likely in Alan's
opinion too), it does make sense to raise the frame.  The
showDocument may indeed come from somewhere else which is not
Emacs at all.  I used to work with Common Lisp IDEs like that
allowed the application being developed to issue requests to
the editor and pop it up to the user.  It was extremely convenient.
