Interface Validating

public interface Validating
Interface for things that are able to validate themselves, such as email addresses.

Something which is Validating is a wrapper for some data which can determine, to some degree of accuracy, whether that data is probably usable or definitely not usable.

Basically, this allows us to do what java.net.URL cannot: Construct an object which may or may not be valid, without necessarily imposing immediate data validation on it - validation is possible, but it is done by the thing which actually needs the data to be valid (and it can also chose to silently ignore or fail on invalid elements depending on the use-case).
