Read about starting seedlings in compost in an old organic gardening book. How bad an idea do you think this is? Has anyone ever tried it?

I did try with seeds for plants that I am not really relying on, and there were no noticeable problems. Had good germination and no early loss. Now they have been potted up and are doing fine so far. Just wondering if this is just a lucky coincidence.
