It doesn't respect the hidden attribute, and it sounds like its respect for "required" is marginal. I haven't checked its respect for the other constraints. > It's still limited in that complex "business logic" is still beyond SMF's > grasp (hey now, don't go adding an extension programming language to > SMF). Weeeellll... maybe. Programming language, no. Way to hook in dynamically loaded validators? Maybe. The more that validation can be embedded in SMF, the less that has to be implemented in the various user interfaces, the less that gets duplicated between the various user interfaces, and the more that those user interfaces are consistent. Look at it like you might look at a DBMS: best practice is to put as much validation and business logic in the schema as possible.
