I agree with Jani that you should think about trying to make the proposal accommodate different JavaScript frameworks. You might look at https://github.com/jrief/django-angular, for example, for inspiration.
Just thinking about what problems Django should be trying to solve, I'm wondering if client-side JavaScript validation might be obsoleted to some extent as browsers improve support for HTML5 validation?
