I think the problem is that some of us (myself included) have been doing =
that
project "no-no" of trying to force design-related ideas before we even ha=
ve
our project requirements set.

We still need to know what, before we worry about how.
I believe there were a few things we know we need to do,=20
such as:
=091) Canonicalize data
=092) Input/output filtering
Other things are still not agreed upon such as:
=093) Type checking
=094) Range checking

This is, of course, an over simplified list, and by all means, please add=
 to it.
But we need to decide on whats what before we continue..
