5 Make a special "trace" logger which keeps the last 20, say, trace messages and only output them when asked to do so, which might happen when an exception is caught. It might output them via the normal mechanisms, but only when asked (and not all messages may be in the correct order: trace messages might be logged later than they were added to the list).

107 Extend content with a validator function/delegate, specific to each class, which takes the new value and returns it or a corrected version of it. Not so good to do it generally from Content, since setting a new value via usual method will re-trigger validator and callbacks (e.g. bad validator could cause infinite loop).
