I saw that. Can you give me a 25-word how-to on how to _configure_ a rule? 
I'll be reading the source, but I'm not sure what to expect. IE I'd like to 
have IntegerRange rule accept attributes describing the range requested 
from the config xml file. How should that look?

Don't worry about details, just the very high level. I can get the rest 
from the source.

I would prefer for the time being have you review, approve and commit my 
changes until we have a more solid working relationship, ie: so that you 
know what to expect and I know what to expect. Maybe in a few more rounds 
of contributions from me and then it makes sense for me to have full commit 
status. Sound good?
