Well, it looks like Joern more or less has it covered. I'd simply use
something like { rulesClassStart: "val-", rulesClassEnd: "";
rulesDelimiter: " " }.
He also mentions (in another email) that using <label> to semantically
separate the validations from the inputs can be done with relatively small
modifications to his existing plugin. Worth looking into.
