I think this pattern turns up in several places; a method is "intended" to be 
overridden, and the spec specifically says that the default implementation is 
an exception-throwing stub. If a team of volunteers is going to walk the 
whole source tree looking for stub methods, they should probably put a 
standard comment line (e.g. "stub as per spec") on every method which is 
examined and found not to need NotImplementedException. Just to prevent this 
discussion from being repeated ...
