I have three components/types of components which I use regularly
which violate the proposed "no side-effects" constraint:
1) Escape to substrate and execute program on input, producing output.
The program is required to take well-formed XML on stdin and
produce well-formed XML on stdout.
2) Synchronous SOAP exchange. Ship input to a parameter-specified
server, wait for a result.
3) A class of special-purpose components which update databases. Some
of these are repeatable w/o negative impact, but not all.
