What have you tried? The above should be possible with the right
combination of filters and validators; elements do not have to be scalar
values (take a look at the various 'Multi' elements, such as Radio,
Multiselect, and MultiCheckbox, for example).
The below should work -- and it should work without the foreach() even.
If it doesn't, please let me know.
