Yes (perhaps you could list all the protocols).

I'd expect they'd be quicker than using regexes, self-documenting (E.g.
"boost::validate::credit_card(cc)" is more readable than
"^\d{4}-?\d{4}-?\d{4}-?\d{2,4}$"), and also more accurate (I believe
credit cards have meaning to the numbers that can also be validated).
