If I can get off my ass and get it finished up it would be good to get a 
default input filtering extension in there as well.  We have not done 
much to help people do proper input validation and although the hook for 
it is in 5.0 I doubt anybody has actually used it yet.  I'll try to get 
it into PECL in the next week or so for people to have a look.
