I agree, why just don't queue the events and execute them once? 
Shouldn't this things handled asyncronously? For loops, assign to every 
pool of events in the queue a session, then you can limit every session 
with a number of events, cutting loops before executing anything.

I think tomcat does this, for example gsearch webapps.

I think this is dangerous if not well designed (if you move content, the 
context change and when you apply an event, maybe something is broken at 
that stage).

So the better is to keep as it is, and add a warning when multiple rules 
insist on the same event (as publish before), with a documented workaround.
