vSphere within VMware Workstation - is it possible?

I remember reading Mike Lavericks blog regarding running vSphere within another ESX - it ran fine. My assumption is that the NDA for vSphere is over and someone can answer whether VMware Workstation has any issues running vSphere as a VM and whether any guests can be run from inside vSphere?

It would be great to be able to run a vSphere ESX cluster within VMware Workstation as you currently can with 3.5 for testing purposes etc

For those interested in Mike's blog -

Thanks!
