Just looked into David's validator framework and it looks like a javascript
solution.
Can someone confirm this?

I believe the "XML --> ActionForm Code Generator" on the 1.1 todo list
may provide the same functionality when developed.
Currently, the only procedure for submitting tags is to post them to the
list, either as an attachment or with a link to a Web site. Diffs are
the traditional format for other types of patches.
We (meaning I) also hope to create a user contribution area soon, but
this seems to be a busy time for everyone.
