Wouldn't it be simpler to create a library of template files designed to exercise various features that a user could find one to illustrate his concern?
To some extent this is already done in the build process. Life always throws up something unexpected. Further, users are by definition lazy and want the devs to look at *their* data rather than being expected to trawl through a set of files containing data not relevant to their real life situation in the hope that one of them shows the fault that, by definition, shouldn't have existed in the first place. See the circular bit?
Thiswould bypass the need to figure out how to sanitize every possible user file.
Sanitizing isn't that hard and we don't actually need perfection, just sufficient so that people are confident that the devs aren't snooping on them.
If the user wants, he could still build his own example file as some users do now.
The problem is that some people build files that don't work for everyone; it does say "normalizing" in the Subject line, none of this is ever going to be compulsory.
