 * Addition of automatic input "restriction" filters
 * Addition of input filtering system configuration via external config files

Ongoing Work

 * Advocacy. PR via interviews and news items about releases; writing articles demonstrating the system for various sources; presentations via the web and at major PHP conferences.
 * Work with major PHP app devs and framework devs to integrate the system -- or encourage the development of similar approaches -- within their projects.
