I am not sure where the best place to put validation (using the Enterprise Library Validation Block) is? Should it be on the class or on the interface?

Things that may effect it

Validation rules would not be changed in classes which inherit from the interface.
Validation rules would not be changed in classes which inherit from the class.
Inheritance will occur from the class in most cases - I suspect some fringe cases to inherit from the interface (but I would try and avoid it).
The interface main use is for DI which will be done with the Unity block.
