Comment (by karsten):

 I need more time for this review. But here's a first question:

 Should we really put the sanitizing code into metrics-lib rather than
 CollecTor? That's an important design decision and a change to what we
 have been doing in the past. Where would this code be used other than in
 CollecTor? So far, metrics-lib has primarily been the client-side library
 for applications using CollecTor data. But this change would turn it into
 a library that both the CollecTor server and its clients depend on. I'm
 yet undecided whether this is a good idea or not. In any case, we should
 discuss this first.

 I'll continue my review later today and post my findings here.
