No. See the sitemap match that i refer to below (line 508).
Only the last map:part goes into the content body. The other
parts provide data that is used later by the skin stylesheets.
For example, see the "build-info" part which is used later
by main/webapp/skins/common/xslt/html/site2xhtml.xsl line 326.
