Thanks Teddy - definitely a useful introduction.

One bit was particularly relevant:

"When Record objects are validated the validation cascades to dirty
children.  So if you have a user who hasMany addresses, when you call
user.validate() it will validate any addresses that are dirty."

That makes complete sense and has given me a big hint in how to tackle
a problem that I was thinking of using a class table inheritance
pattern on, but hadn't worked out how.

But that also makes me think that what I am seeing now is a bug - the
Agency Record is NOT dirty.

It is the introduction of the validator and details about validation.
