I was hoping something like allowEmpty would be implemented soon so i could
really start using 1.2 but, using the latest dev release, i still get 'this
field cannot be left blank' errors even when i set allowEmpty to true. I
tried several variants on the example you give but no dice.
Validating non-required fields and integration of custom functions in the
built in validation would allow me to switch to 1.2 completely. I'll take
the random API changes for granted when i could do that now.
