Hi Jörn, I think both messages for a form submit with server roundtrip 
and on-the-fly validation doesn't have to be the same necessarily...

Here's an example: http://beta.plazes.com/register/

* Submit the form and you will get error messages gathered on top of the 
form, and additionally marked labels/inputs of the corresponding fields.

* Put something in there, trigger the validation by leaving to the next 
field and you will get the same error message, but this time right in 
place, as expandend label. I think this makes sense, because your focus 
is still there and not on top of the form.
