My original question was more about why these rules are in place as opposed to what are they. In particular, are these rules needed by other GateIn and/or eXo components? Can we remove all these rules without issues? Trong thanks for the start however Chris is right - we need to provide some context also. I understand that it can be hard to track all requirements but if we provide users configuration capabilities they need some clear info if those are hard constraints or not. Basically we need to agree if putting less restrictive validation can cause issues on JCR/DB level or not. What do you think? Bolek
