Qry : SCXML State_Visit_Count issue ?

Hello All,


Is SCXML have Any Mechanism of "State_Visit_Count" to Avoid 
Conditions like Infinite Loop (or To Restrict the Visit of some state of Current Context by Some number?)

Say for Example

States are like   P1 [S1(S11,S12,S13),S2,S3]

State P1 has sub-states  S1,S2,S3 
                 S1 has sub-states  S11,S12,S13

now on some Events Execution Flow is become infinite-loop
s11-->S12-->S13-->S11-->........(infinite loop)

(or any other sequence which results in infinite loop...or 

Exceed some Maximum Counts or some Maximum Time...)


Is there any Mechanism of State_Visit_Count (or Timer) is there by which one can control Infinite loop.


State_Visit_Count is the property of the State which will describe that Current State is Visited by Current Execution Context how many times. And I strongly believe that there is need of Explicit Specification so that SCXML App_Developers can use this property to gain more Control and Compatibility with multiple Vendors of SCXML. I think that this property should be MUST.


(This might be the critical issue for Real-Time systems...which may built using SCXML)


Waiting for Further Responses and Feedback,
