Yes, it is possible now:
1. Create an executable for the viewer (very important to not modify suggested 
name and directory)
2. Now, in the designer you can open an example, then press "Preview" buton, 
then you see the preview into the designer, same way for merging in another 
application.

Somes details:
For them, i use the "USE" keyword (deprecated..)
Both, the application and the viewer must by in separated directory, below the 
same directory (src):
for example:
  src
     DBReportViewer
     MyApp
Another restriction: the name of classes in viewer must be unique. 

in your app you need code like this:

SUB Preview()
  USE "DBReportViewer"
  $preview=New("FViewer",p)
  $preview.Show()
  $preview.Push("OPEN(Your/Report/File/Name)")
END SUB

yes, but you can create a new section using "Create Section" from toolbar,
i need to limit saving of empty report

Yes, but no reason for report.header,  for others (ex: page.header), in the 
future i want add a "Visible" property for section to hide or show sections, 
based on some runtime expresion.

I need to document the API,
The execute box allow report commands like macros, 
for implementation of wizards, styles, etc.
Now, the xml report file are translated by "xml2macro.xslt" to macro commands, 
then executed, so, using Execute, you can do a complete report creation.

BUG - No way from IDE, :-(
edit the xml file and delete them
