I wanted to know if the MVC framework can leverage the Nested Master Page? If so does anyone have some info on how to achive this?

We use nested master pages frequently, in order to seperate layout from standard includes and site wide markup, like so:
Site.Master:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage<PageViewModel>" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="language" content="en">
<title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="Title" runat="server"><%= Model.Page.Title %></asp:ContentPlaceHolder></title>
<% Html.RenderPartial("Head"); %>
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
<meta name="robots" content="noodp">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ExtraHead" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body >
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</body>
</html>
then have a another master using the Site.Master,
Standard.Master:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage<PageViewModel>" MasterPageFile="Site.Master" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ExtraHead" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ExtraHead" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Content>

Nice example, I like how you demonstrate that you can use the same ContentPlaceHolder ID at each level of master template.
