I've used Validity before, but I'm not using it anymore.  My impression is
that very few people are using it (no one maybe?).  Last time I checked the
ValidityModeler app wouldn't start due do some build issues.  I like the
idea of the Validity and it simplifies things, but at this point it's
probably not a good choice for new development.
