Because Tapestry dynamically assembles the fields in the form, there isn't a
way to do this. Worse, because of Loops, Tapestry may use the same
component multiple times to handle different values from different objects.
That is why so much of the validation is tied to the components themselves,
threaded into the component's portion of the form submission process.
Performing cross-field validation can be a challenge. You might need to use
some techniques such as storing an environmental object as a "score board"
to identify the different fields related to the cross-field validation.
