Indeed the '*' solution is not so beautiful.

So I worked on an other proposal:

    - make label bold for required field
    - have a better 'invalid form' message that describe the problem

So here is a screenshot of such invalid form with missing required field
and wrong value because of domain.
I think it is really an improvement because now we explain to the user
what is wrong and experienced user can still anticipate required fields.
