It seems like the next logical step to me ;-)

Are you suggesting Javascript generation from DDS or SQL DDL specifications? If so, that would be redundant validation, and I'm not sure what purpose that would serve.

Except that it reminds me of something I learned in college. If you have a procedure that fails 1% of the time, and you back it up with a redundant procedure that fails 1% of the time, the resulting failure rate is 1% times 1% = .01%. So if .Net interfaces have a 1% failure rate, then I can see Microsoft's rationale for redundant validation ;-)
