 * I’m working on image support, specifically featured images/post thumbnails right
   now. I added file_is_valid_image() to my function. Then I had a thought.
 * If file_is_valid_image() returns false, CSV 2 POST creates a meta value (custom
   field) holding details about the problem.
 * Some people may think that it is the users responsibility to know if their data
   is valid or not. Problem is when something goes wrong, many users blame the plugin.
   They assume their data is fine, the plugin must be at fault. This idea is to 
   protect CSV 2 POST.
 * It will also provide a service. I can create an interface to list such custom
   field values. The user can deal with them one at a time, deleting the meta as
   they go.
 * Could this be better than .txt log files which are outside of the WordPress core
   system?
 * I will add this system, starting with making the user aware when image URL are
   invalid. The ability to disable the feature and mass delete such meta values 
   would will be added.

 * I ended up doing this system and it is ready to use. The interface looks nice
   so far. If any posts are flagged, its easy to view the flags and delete them 
   once the issue is dealt with.
 * This is in the free edition, else I would not discuss it here on this forum.
