In the thread where I gave the inline validation example, I also described string-based parameters, much like what Sean described. I wasn't recommending inline validation (if I recall correctly, I recommended against it, for many of the same reasons Sean listed), merely illustrating two different approaches for doing your validation. I much prefer a validate() method separate from the individual getters and setters.
