Sure, but you can't access these curves and surfaces. You just
manipulate a stupid cage;). You can't detach one of these curves and
sweep a curve along it, f.ex.

It's not a problem if you attach the patches properly.

If verse doesn't store NURBS, how can you store it on a verse server
and be able to manipulate the NURBS?.
