PME: Disable Unused Functionality in Workbench

Many features of the PME algorithm are not available in PME AE, yet they still appear in workbench. I realize that this same Workbench UI is designed to form a configuration which can be deployed to several different products, but we could have an "AE mode" or "SE mode" which would gray-out or disable certain features dependent upon the target recipient product of the PME configuration. For example, PME in MDM AE is not concerned with "Informational Sources", "Auditing", "Composite Views", "Applications" and many others, yet these menus appear in the .IMM model in workbench. Lance LaForge has a good powerpoint highlighting some available features for each product which might be a good starting point.
