well as i'm sure you know, if you *start* the project with validation in
mind it wouldn't take any longer than coding without standards in mind.
but now you've already gone and done it without standards, i would say
it will take a bit of time (meaning, longer than if you had done it from
the beginning) to standardize it if you will.

probably not much help, and a little vague, but the point is mainly to
just do it from the beginning. of course you may or may not already know
this (i don't know). in case you do just let it be a lesson to the
younger d3z1gn3rz out there. ;)
