Comment:

 Additionally, this parameter is called "sanitize_callback" in the actual
 WordPress source code. The name is not chosen arbitrarily on the wiki page
 or in the documentation.

 While I agree that the difference between "sanitization" and "validation"
 is a subtle one, this is what the code uses and how it defines it,
 therefore it should be documented as such.
