3-F) 3.4 "Two group sequences must not share the same group name in a
given object graph". Does this mean If an object of type A references an
object of type B and A and B have a group sequences with the same name
this would result to an exception? Why would such a limitation be
necessary? Or is the term "object graph" misplaced here?

Emmanuel replied:
"When an object graph is validated (through the use of @Valid), the children elements of the graph inherit the sequence definitions of their parent."
Yes this was the intend. Because group sequence definitions are inherited from a parent to a child, the rule makes sense.

I think you assumed that a group sequence was not inherited. Children would be validated against the expanded groups of their parents.

Let's go back to the drawing board (in a different thread) and evaluate the merit of both rules using common usecases.
