If you are using a WODisplayGroup, you might be able to turn this behavior
off. Look at setValidatesChangesImmediately: method. I believe you can also
change this flag using WOBuilder.
For AppKit applications you can turn off this behavior in the display group
(Validates immediately) inspector in IB.
Anyway, I think it is a good idea to use validateKey: methods for
"immediate validation". If you want to validate a field at save time, you
can use validateForSave or one of those methods. That way, your EO has
control as to when things should be validated.
