Hi Gunnar,

I had an idea today for a new validation constraint called @WebSafe - in 
summary what it would do is validate a rich text value provided by the 
user to ensure that it contains no malicious code, such as embedded 
<script> elements.  The implementation for this would use JTidy to 
convert the value to a DOM tree, after which it would walk the nodes of 
the tree and locate any <script> tags, and if any are present the 
validation would fail.

Anyway, the implementation isn't so important - what I was wondering 
though is whether you think something like this would be useful to have 
in the Seam Validation module.  I tend to think that it would be (and we 
can probably come up with quite a few other useful validation 
constraints also) but I would like to know what you think about this.
