Software-system lives in an ecosystem of software. That is why nesting needs to be controlled, I have seen systems which, because of a bug dive into a recursive loop, and spit out data and feed it to another system. If it is an automated process, and it does in a few separated threads, your OpenEHR kernel can crash, and if it runs in a operating system with a notorious reputation regarding process-management, even that can crash. I have seen server systems which did not even allow to login, because there was no processor-time left to handle the login-process. Thinking about precautions regarding malformed-data-entry in software is a good thing. Bert
