Generally agreed for adding this. But there is Validate_Finance in CVS (and if Pierre finds the time for a new release of Validate it's also "out in the wilds"). So maybe such checking-algorithms should also go into Validate_Payment? I've previously agreed with Pierre that I volunteer to coordinate the Finance-part. Afaik there hasn't been a real decision on this - but if you'd contribute a credit-card- validation you might send me a patch against latest CVS and I'll commit it to Validate_Finance. Please note that there is also a check for Validate::creditCard(). Maybe this is a bit to simplistic and could be further improved if you're about to implement a larger / better algorithm? The discussion has been on the list before (with Validate_Finance_IBAN) that this belongs in Validate because it doesn't have to do anything with actual payments (like cybercash, HBCI or something).
