… and it will display a modal dialog to the user announcing "Cocoa Error 
134100", or something like that, in bold font.  And as Quincey noted this 
happens after your user has been working on a document for 30 minutes and now 
wants to save.  Not a pretty picture.  Core Data's built-in validation is 
useable for in-house projects only.
