What wasn't clear about ".. preventing inadvertent mistakes to start
with ..". After the fact validation just doesn't really work IMHO
(as lots of the errors FvGordon is fixing show). <br>

<p>Actually, an analysis of all these changesets might produce

On the other hand validation on upload is horrible from a UI
