In response to a question during the design phase objecting to the rule
forbidding nested accepts for the same entry, the design team replied. "[This
restriction is] motivated by difficulties with the visibility rules ..."
(This quote is from the response to comment #4490 on the draft RM Chapters.)
(At one point, the design team wanted to forbid nested accepts entirely, but
it was persuaded to allow them insofar as possible.)
