Hello Matthias, I believe that downloading code from the application should be a discouraged practice, reasons below.

Downloading application compiled code may inadvertently introduce source code bugs. For example, a programmer needs to hand type some device-init to get his source to work in the application and forgets to add the same to the source file itself. This can go unnoticed for a long while since the downloaded code does include this device-init. 2. Host compiled Forth code can easily be enhanced with hand written asm.
