UCM placeholders/sites in WebCenter

Question

I'm wondering if/how Site Studio sites can be utilized in WebCenter.
There are few wonderful functions that can be gained from Site Studio:
- data files, ie. ability to assign a query on the document repository
- secondary page, ie. ability to display the content of the document formatted by the pre-selected style (DynamicConvertor)
- contributor's mode, ie ability to make on-site modifications using WYSIWYG online editor or native desktop applications - this is also linked to a) show differences and b) approval workflows
- plus one can use Desktop Integration Suite and Folders to integrate easily Office environment with content repository/site
To my understanding WebCenter provides similar functions (Data Controls, Content Presenter; UCM's contributor's mode has one important advantage - the CheckOutAndOpen component allows one-click opening the document, which I was told is not on WebCenter's roadmap).
However, if I have a site written in the new UCM 11g SSXA (JSPs), will I be able to move it easily to WebCenter environment? Will I be able to reuse fragments/regions/placeholders defined in my site in other WebCenter pages? Could some point me/write a "cookbook" how this can be obtained?
Thanks.

If you are using the new version of WebCenter (11g PS3) you will be glad to hear that you can easily use site studio fragments in a webcenter portal application.
From this patch set, the content presenter has gained a lot in functionality. You can easily select the fragment you want from site studio and use this in webcenter. You even have the possibility to inline edit the content in webcenter when using site studio fragements.
