Well, note the quotes I used. "Correctness" can be taken a lot of ways.
What I was referring to was buzzword-compatible correctness, where the
comp sci grads are happy applying all of their new-found knowledge in ways
that end up making the product less usable. Between usability and
"correctness," I'll take usability.

This is sort of why I dislike the current xwork.xml structure - it's
"correct" but unusable. (Well, it's usable, but *I* wouldn't want to use
it.)

As far as the validation... as long as the definition is clear, I'm happy.
