Interesting,
My use case is making install time adjustments to tie a website installation to
the various other component's such as the WebAppPool attribute from an
iis:WebApplication element to the corresponding Id attribute of the iis:WebAppPool
element.

Does this approach apply to something like this without any caveats?

Thanks for the info Nir and Jacob,
