a few restrictions on Sieve requirements

1999-06-21 14:07:33
I'm proposing the following as nesting limits for a Sieve
implementation.  These are lower limits, and there is no upper bound.

I am adding a new section, 2.10.7, Limits on Execution:

Implementations may limit certain constructs.
However, this specification places a lower bound on some of these
limits.

Implementations MUST support fifteen levels of nested blocks.

Implementations MUST support fifteen levels of nested testlists.

If I recall correctly, ANSI C lets ifs nest fifteen deep.

If anyone has any issues with either of these, please let me know.  If
this is a good idea, and there are other places that need limits, please
let me know as well.
