Currently looping with blocking transformers is only allowed in linked custom transformers. (see http://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1273/looping-with-blocking-transformers.html)
However there are transformers that force a linked rather than embedded custom transformer are only blocking if they have a Group By, or other parameter setting that causes them to block.
It would be nice if these transformers could be used in an embedded loop when they are not in "blocking-mode"
ex. Bufferer (No Group By), AreaAmalgamtor (Self-Amalgamation Mode), PythonCaller (Function)

It would be nicer, if the concept of forcing embedded transformers to be linked was abandoned altogether.
I think it might be implemented by having FME automagically create a hidden temp linked transformer on-the-fly from the embedded template whenever needed in the translation.
