It's also "parsing" - and in the following releases I would also like to integrate creation of IBANs (for those people who still have their bankcode and bankaccount but don't know their IBAN). The basic thing here is, that it's (going to be) more than just "apply a regex" (like email-validation and similar). Also extraction of certain data (e.g. "extract bankcode") doesn't belong in Validation I would say. And last: Validation would get really too bloated. The only way I could think of to integrate the current IBAN-stuff would be a separate Validate_IBAN-class (and having Validate not as a class but as a tree-hierarchy in the index). Well, but anyways ... Validate (see explanation above) is out of discussion, right? Pierre: Let's better put it under payment since it's also directly related and will be extended. all other: please comment Stefan
