Will 4.0 support form builder proxy portlet ?

bpmf
Hi,
      We want to integrate Orbeon Forms and Liferay. It seems the form builder is the biggest problem.

      I noticed under going release notes of 4.0 :
        "Liferay 6.1 support for full and proxy portlets [IMPLEMENTED]"
 
Does it mean that form builder can run inside the portlet ?
If not so,  what's the main challenge to make form builder work inside the proxy portlet?

Form builder architecture wiki  says form builder is a special form. I tried form runner' proxy portlet  using "orbeon"/"builder" as app/form value,  and the page cannot display correctly. Is there any technical limitation to  write a builder portlet ?

In general running Form Builder through Liferay has not been a
requirement so far, so we haven't looked into making it work. So at
this time the answer is no.

Technically, the first problem I see is one of layout: Form Builder
expects to take over a large area of the browser, and uses JavaScript
to do the top/left/bottom/center layout. So the first thing would be
to make that layout work.
