Default Campy 10 to 11 ?

I presently have a full Campy 10 speed setup.
I want to go to a compact crank. (presently 39 X 53)
I do plan on upgrading (someday) to 11 speed.
Rather than get a 10 speed compact, I would rather get a compact 11 speed.
I will upgrade the rest at a later date.
So, my question.
Could I use a Campy compact 11 speed crantset with the rest of my components being 10 speed ?

Thanks.

Sure, no problem. Th differences of chainring center to center are teeny. The only thing you 'may' see is the chain tickling the big ring when in the small ring and smaller(higher gear) cogs. Just shift up and no problema. BTW, as long as your rear derilleur isn't worn out, you can use the '10s' rear derailleur with 11s shifters. Front derailleur also, Brakes also....
