technique???

Check out the EventSelectors and do a AJAX call on all the form fields  
which hooks into a introspection method for that object and the  
fields. The return type would give you enough information to hook in  
some validations without doing anything more than including a JS file.

Actually sounds like a cool idea now that I think about it. Please do  
lemme know how it goes 🙂
