I though constant rules were deprecated in cake 1.2. especially this
one has been replaced by allowEmpty (I am trying to be as much
compatible as I can with 1.2).

Yes, it is not showing in the given example but I agree with you and
it is in my code already.
In any case this is all a bit of DIY, hack I just wonder if there is
proper way to do it. But I have been debugging validates for a couple
of hours now and it is just not going to work unless 'rule' is
declared to something that always return true (in my case I have used
rule => array('custom' , '/.*/') ) to avoid using constant rules.
What happend is that if you put your keywords outside a declared rule
and dont' declare 'rule' ,validates assumes 'rule' exists an
overwritte $validator array with array('rule', $validator) but the key
does not exist so it is set to false and it all breaks down...
The other scenario is to put them into a rule declaration but again if
'rule' is not defined it is default to 'blank' which is not very
helpful.
There should be a way of testing required and allowEmpty without
having to declare a specific rule.
