+<p>The view architecture only allows one view to be active in each application.
+If a new view is switched to within an application, the current view is immediately
+deactivated, so this architectural approach is <i>not</i> appropriate in the
+following cases:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Applications with any view that cannot cleanly handle unexpected
+activation of another view in that application.</p></li>
+<li><p>Applications that provide views that can be nested over other
+applications, except where embedding is used.</p></li>
+<li><p>Applications that provide controls that can be used inside
+other applications (for example, using a Web control inside an e-mail viewer
+to show an e‑mail with HTML content).</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>Typical responsibilities in this architecture are:</p>
