While I do not have a copy of NFPA 70-2011 (the latest latest, released
a few months ago), my reading of NFPA 70-2008 still allows GFCI
breakers (NFPA 70 is the official name for NEC).  Personally, I
prefer to specify and use GFCI outlets (and I tend to not daisy
chain) so that the the fault is next to the use (and no collateral
outages occur).  Of course, specific breakers may not meet the
newest requirements.
