Validation needs completion

[joelebwf]

Validation needs to be completed. It is not entirely defined how comprehensive validation needs to be on the first release of pyoblib so a good starting point is to complete a design conversation on this issue and update this ticket. With this said the intent of the pyoblib validator is to validate to the Solar Taxonomy XSD, not to validate advance business rules (use Xule instead) so the design should at least cover XSD basics (data type checks for instance).

What I heard on the call today are two use cases for oblib.validator:
1 - oblib.Parser.from_xml_string can call validator.xxxxx to confirm that the read-in values are appropriate for setting to an Entrypoint
2 - oblib.data_model.XXXXXX.set( , value) methods can call validator.xxxxx to confirm that value is appropriate for the target.
Please correct or clarify.

Please decide how far we are going to take Validation on 1.0.0 and add the rest of the validation to 1.1.0 and then close this issue.
