Sorry, but when this discussion started off with 
UTF/Japanese encodings, I was staying away as I know nothing 
about it.  :-)  But since we're talking about white listing 
and black listing, I suddenly remembered a book I have 
called "Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL" by 
Williams and Lane [O'Reilly].  Chapter 9 is on validation.

I think the book's web site might have some of their source 
code, if not at least part of the book:

http://www.webdatabasebook.com/

I haven't used this book as much as I had hoped and at 2003, 
it is probably out-of-date.
