I think it is possible to use phase with any pattern used in a pigment. 
I'm not sure about normals, but I don't see why it would be impossible 
or difficult. And I thought I had used phase with bozo normals 
before...or was that wrinkles?
I think there was a test scene for the liquid spray include, a fireworks 
scene over water, which used a bozo normal with phase and triangle_wave 
for the water. I remembered this one because I rather liked the effect 
of the water.
