Well I do have a practical reason. As with Andrew K, I think that having
multiple alternate view open simultaneously is a fine idea. And I was
kind of banking on this with some plans that I have for an update of SFX
Machine. So if this really is something that hosts shouldn't and won't be
doing, then I want to know now, before I proceed with plans that rely on
that.

I remember that thread, it was about Rax opening multiple windows of the
*same* view...

... but this is the part that I don't remember ever coming up on the list
or ever seeing in the docs, this idea that multiple *alternate* views is a
bad idea. So that's what I'm wondering about, where you got that idea
from, and if this is in fact true or not. It seems totally fine to me,
but if it's officially not the way to do things, then I'll change my
plans...
