Yes, I very much agree.  I guess I was fishing for the techniques and
design choices that people have found make that "incremental validation"
easier or harder.  What do you have to trade off?  (Other than time, I
guess, but have people found a way to inexpensively generate validation
rules from some other data set, like script analysis or crystal balls or
a ThatcherBot?)
