Now i'm creating a custom MultiSelect Form Element (extending
Zend_Form_Element_MultiSelect) so I can override the "isValid" function to
achieve the validation of the whole array instead of his elements.
The problem now is to make a safe code to allow "single-element validators"
and "array validators" to be added to the element without getting conflicts.
If I succeed, i will post the code here.
