I don't have one to hand, but we'd want to prove that such an issue 
*can't* happen before implementing this.

That's exactly the problem I'm talking about. If you have a HOT snippet 
embedded in a Mistral workbook embedded in a HOT template passed to 
Murano, can you guarantee that each piece of YAQL will be interpreted 
only in exactly the right place? Will the user be able to predict where 
that will be? My brain hurts just thinking about it.

We can protect other formats from Heat by wrapping an intrinsic function 
around the YAQL; I'm not certain that HOT would be protected from 
Mistral and Murano in the same way, because this wasn't previously a 
design goal for them.

cheers,
Zane.
