I don't see why validating cell editor contents should be any different from other validators when you want to include server requests. It is clear that any kind of asynchronous validation is problematic when validation is seen as inherently synchronous.
I don't think that synchronous server requests are such a bad idea in your case, depending of course on server availability. The other idea would be to implement a "pending" validation where your validation function triggers an asynchronous request, and then sets the cell into some kind of "pending" state (not-editable, some background color, ...). The pending state will then be removed by the asynchronous callback when the server response has arrived, and either turned into a "valid" or "invalid" state. Shouldn't be too hard. Maybe Derrell can comment better on this. T.
