Prepare can even call valid(). The NT format is a good place to look. It has a prepare() for reading pwdump-style input. It also has a split, for unifying hash case and enforcing tags. So it can read bare hashes, tagged hashes or pwdump files, and regardless it will output tagged hashes in john.pot.
