I might suggest the somewhat more readable line

Pattern conceptNamePattern = Pattern.compile("^[a-z]\w{0,9}$",
Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);

Certainly more concise. I like using \w - should have done that.
Though I'm not so sure about using the case_insensitive (slight pun
intended) flag.

I'd rather the regex is selfcontained. Maybe an inline quantifier like

"^(?i)[a-z]\w{0,9}$"

is better. Though this no longer matches in my emacs regexp builder.
I think I could live with

"^[a-zA-Z]\w{0,9}$"

and this is very portable.

We should probably keep up with these somehow. I am still very much
convinced we need this functionality in the long run. The wiggle room
in the data model needs to be closed a bit.

I was thinking maybe a simple XML file to keep these in, until we
figure out if and how to implement. At least this way, we can share
them among those that care to use them.

Jason
