I recently saw a great blog series about sabotage and how to defeat it in the context of projects. Sabotage often happens for personal and political reasons and he lays out clear ways to defeat it.

It is a great read.

Microsoft's SignedXml implementation in the .Net framework fixed this 8 years ago so long as you are correctly using the GetIdElement which makes sure there are no duplicates.

A little known secret is that in the VB namespace in .NET full fat, there is a really nice CSV file reader/writer.
