Yes - and this url could even be a "snapshot" site for use during CI builds.

Then at release time it gets updated to point to the actual release.

i'm leaning more and more towards the continous composite site is causing more damage and hiding more issues
than it is worth having.

My biggest concern on moving to this is that some components (such as JST) probably have too high a dependency on Common in base to make it feasible...but if we could have these components explicitly point to a "snapshot" of the site (not the composited site) until release time this might be doable.
