Super, thank you! I look forward to it :)

I've worked on similar problems recently so I'm well aware of how difficult this is. An example I've given people is in automatically detecting base64-encoded data. It seems easy at first, but any four, eight, or twelve (etc) letter word is technically valid base64, so you need to decide if and how those things should be excluded.
