Good point. It's just that users should still implement
the anonymous version, too. Well, those applications who do
not implement DataSource can just pass on 'null' in the
assert(). What do you think? (Oh well, it's not perfect design but...)

...nope. 

public class Foo implements DataSource
{
   Foo (String sURI) {
     setURI (sURI);
   }

   public void setURI (String sURI) {
     // save it somewhere
   }
}

An interface cannot require anything from the implementing
class constructor, can it?

I'd love to have a nice example and a nice tutorial to this
Tellable/DataSource thing anyway. I wonder if you have
something simple or ambition to add some documentation to
the SiRPAC distribution... :-) If not, I guess I'll try to
do it some day.
