I think this is a really important point, and one that isn't getting
enough attention in this discussion.   Half a security measure is
almost always worse than none at all, exactly because people stop
thinking they have to worry about that area of security at all.  I
think without a convincing argument that the proposal will even come
close to covering most SQL injection cases, it's a bad idea.
