Hey, guess what? There's a workaround ;-)
Take a node of your choice (Composite node is good because it can have as
many controls as you want) and use it as the control node for all your
expressions. You don't connect it to any other nodes using its inputs our
output, just use the sliders to drive other parameters through
expressions.
Rename each of the Composite Node's inputs (Alt + Click) to show what
they're controlling.
It's not perfect, but it works well.

7.5. I saw that 7.6 has expressions now. Can this be used to create
the custom UI? Will it allow you, like Shake or FCP, to create dummy
interfaces that you link to internal node parameters?
You could, but there is no "generic interface" that exists that would let
you create a property panel with only what you want on it (like 2 numeric
boxes, 3 sliders, etc.)
