Yeah, I like the decorator pattern too.  Haven't used it to your level though.  Although I can't use AR currently, I am thinking of making my domain AR entities so I can take advantage of the nice validation framework.  I would augment it with the Visitor pattern to accomodate validation depenendencies between entities.  Does that sound like a reasonable approach to you?

Depends.
I like to use generic decorator repositories, usually acessible via IoC.
So I get something like
 
repos =  Container.Resolve<IRepository<Customer>>()
repos is SecurityRepository
  -> inner is LogginRepository
   -> inner is ValidationRepository
     -> inner is LogicalDeletionRepository {turn Delete() to Cancel()+save() )
      -> NHibernate repository

I know AR promotes validation within the model.  If you don't use AR, do you usually still put validation in your models or directly in the Business services or create a separate validation service.  Just curous

Clarifying:

- with or without AR I create a DA layer.
- I usually work with models. If I'm using AR then AR entities are my
models. I just don't like invoking FindAll, or Create on the
presentation layer, instead I use a service layer that is aware of
business rules and its implications, so if later I have to add some
logic say, everytime a Customer is created, I just need to change one
place
- The only time I've used a dataset was to process some reports, where
the columns and aggregated columns were somewhat dinamically, and
more, the report was generated by a windows service to be viewed
later. For that situation only, DS was perfect. :-)
