Seeds in hot water

Instructions for the germination of many seeds direct that the seeds be
treated with hot or even boiling water.  I have always been hesitant to do
this, particularly with boiling water, because of fear of damaging the
seed.  Has anyone had practical experience with this?
How hot does the water have to be?  How hot CAN it be?
