haha, that's almost exactly what I was thinking. I actually added a
method to button called "validatesForm". It seems to work well with
this onValidate() method:

protected void onValidate()
{
        final Button button = findSubmittingButton();
        if (button == null)
        {
                validate();
        }
        else
        {
                if (button.validatesForm())
                {
                        if (validate())
                        {
                                button.onSubmit();
                        }
                }
                else
                {
                        button.onSubmit();
                }
        }
}
