Yes, that was my surmise, and your confirmation is what I was looking
for. I could use includes, but those are sufficiently ugly that it's not
likely to look (to me) like a good way to factor out repeated small
patterns.

I tried out the validation.js file just to see what it did, and I was quite
impressed. However for my purposes I'm more interested in some simpler
things. The code I've got now uses the "required" property to simply add a
class to the input fields. It also uses "maxlength" to set the maxlength
attribute and (optionally) the input field width. I may want to do more
aggressive client-side validation eventually. I have a lot of experience
doing that, so for me what I was most curious about was the form that the
"metadata" takes, and the way it can be used.
I've been doing some other simple experiments with the server-side
validation annotation stuff, and I'll probably type in a note about it once
I've had more experience thinking about it and using it. I'm sure other
people have done some neat stuff too because the framework makes it so
simple to introduce new twists on existing support.
