I think 'validity' probably isn't worth spending too much time on.  If 
it's not valid, there are probably a bajillion ways it can be invalid, and 
the actual 'this file is invalid on line 3 because...' message you get 
from the API is probably more valuable than trying to classify all the 
invalidity error messages into curatable groups.  (Though perhaps 'the 
model is overspecified' might be a handy particular thing to know?  And 
maybe it wouldn't be too hard to say 'the model is syntactically invalid' 
vs 'the model is semantically invalid'?)

However, 'simulation' probably *is* a more productive area in which to 
expand--if you could tell, in general, what kind of math techniques a 
model needed to be simulated, you could tell if your simulator 
(/translator) could handle those techniques.  ODE's, PDE's, algebraic 
rules, etc.
