So is this is a case where > a verb can turn into an adverb? (it's a grammar question!) Yeah, that name makes sense once you explain it. Maybe. Is it really validating that the parse was done correctly? Or is it just validating that the data in the object meets various criteria? Seems like it's the latter. Would you really want to validate the object any differently if it had just been parsed from XML vs. if the object was generated in some other manner? (e.g. some chunk of C code that created the object and filled in attributes programmatically)
