[CForms] Validation of non-required fields

[Ugo Cei]

Dear Cocooners,

am I wrong or the behaviour of validation in 2.2 changed so that it's now practically impossible to validate optional fields?

                <fd:field id="email" required="false">
                        <fd:label>E-mail</fd:label>
                        <fd:datatype base="string">
                                <fd:validation>
                                        <fd:email/>
                                </fd:validation>
                        </fd:datatype>
                </fd:field>

If the field is not filled-in, you get a not-so-nice NPE under 2.2.0-dev. What I want is to have the validation be performed only if the value is not null, and this seems to be impossible now, whereas it was possible (IIRC) in 2.1.5.

        Ugo
