Re: [extremeprogramming] About placing configuration defaults

One more point:

6) The earlier your app can validate config values, the better: it can 
immediately complain if something that's supposed to be an int is a 
float (or a non-numeric string); it can detect and complain a bit later 
if some host that's specified is unreachable; if inconsistencies are 
possible in the config file (e.g. two values *must* start with the same 
prefix), it can check for those (though you're better off engineering 
inconsistencies out, e.g. by specifying the prefix separate from the 
rest of each related option).
