Currently, fragment developers can create fragments using well known standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This gives the developer a lot of flexibility. To empower the business user to customize the fragment when it's added to a page developers can already use editable elements as well as fragment configuration properties. However in this case, this customization capabilities fall short. Some times page creators need to be able to make more changes to the provided fragments, specially when they are large or complex.

The goal of this feature is to solve this need, by empowering developers to give a larger degree of customizability for those fragments where it's necessary. In particular, this will be achieved by supporting the creation of compositions of fragments. That way, when a page creator adds a composition of fragments to a page, each of the fragments in the composition can be handled independently, including configuring them, moving them, removing, adding other fragments in between, etc.
