Matt, I can understand the desire to give more control to users - but considering how easy everything else is, it seems a bit odd that there isn't a simpler way to do validation. It's like everything was done for us (auto marking of required fields with *, nice validators out of the box) except the final piece (auto validate on submit). I'm not saying it makes it useless per se.... it was just surprising that everything else was done _but_ that.
