In terms of implementation, compute is handled in the .insert() method, which must necessarily run after validation. I suppose we could add code to calculate computed values before validation in the .validate_and_ methods, but I don't think that really makes sense. Computed fields should not need to be validated, as they are in control of generating their own values. You should instead validate the inputs to the computed field.
