Yes and no. The only thing I do not like in the IBAN approach is I have to load a new class (which loads another file) to get basic IBAN validation. Keeping the CC syntax validation in Validate:: skip the useless loads. Finance_CC should contain all "advanced" validation, and/or online/offline validations systems (ie validate again a webservice or a database) but I do not know the Joe's plans about that. > And finally: Who's gonna do it?

Well, I can take care of its integration today, at least for the basic stuff and the 1st shot of Finance_CC. Note that this release will still be alpha. There are a few things I would like to add before the any beta releases (aka something like the single call described by Mike). pierre
