EMBEDDED mode for JMS Service when using clusters

Hi,

I have a question about the use of mode "EMBEDDED" (as opposed to
LOCAL/REMOTE) for JMS Service when using clusters in GF V2.1.

The GFv2.1.1 Administration Guide says that EMBEDDED passes networking
stack, which sounds faster.

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0183/6nl8l6k8a?a=view#indexterm-461

But it also says "EMBEDDED mode is not a supported configuration for a
cluster.".
I tried changing the JMS Service of a cluster's instance to EMBEDDED and
my application worked fine. Why is this configuration not supported?

Thanks,
Dies
