We already have a UTF-8 validation function, but it's not hooked into ValidateFull(). So, yes, that seems desirable to me. Can you open a JIRA and perhaps a PR? > Another validation we've added to Workbench is in column *names*. In > Arrow's IPC layer, `FieldFromFlatbuffer()` validates that column names are > not null.

I'll let others comment. Regards Antoine.
