EMF Support

[John Oram]

Same goes for modular equipment -- bladed servers, directors, etc. 
I'd love to be able to define a chassis with slots, and 
blades/modules I can put in the slots.

Even better if I have a data table in the module, the slot and the 
chassis with characteristics.  And if I could do math on those 
characteristics, depending on what's in the slot, I'd be jumping for 
joy.

*That* would put Visio in its place.
