 * Field validation is clientside only. This means that disabling javascript will
   also disable field validation.
 * I disabled the VFB javascript, because some field validators don’t need 5 bulky
   javascripts – that’s just silly. Only to discover that field validation is now
   completely destroyed – the server doesn’t do anything about it!
 * This really needs to be in the package, if it’s to be taken seriously.

 * You’ll be happy to know that the update I’ve been working on for the past two
   weeks adds server side validation.
 * However, JavaScript is still required.

 * That’s great!
 * I’m very curious what it means for javascript to be still required… Since the
   form works fine without it, don’t you mean javascript is recommended rather than
   required?
