The addMethod would accomplish the same thing. The addMethod() is really affective for building a library of reusable validation method. However, there are times when you have very specific, non-reusable rules you need to implement. For these cases, being able to just define a rule inline makes a lot of sense. Also, the original discussion came from how to validate either/or type validation rules and I was just trying to think of ways you might easily build a rule to do that. -Dan
