Mikey,

I had thought about this.. We can add validation to SPIRAS data.. But then in 
case of legacy SPIRA, we can't validate SPIRA HEAP area. So I thought of 
introducing new option. Also this is just test cases used by developers mostly ;-)

If you still insist I can revert this change and add validation. Not a big deal. 
Let me know you.
