Hi,
I'd strongly favor not doing such a "recursive" validation by default. When
I create a form 99% of the time I only want to validate the data submitted
in fact I can't even think of a case where I'd want to do a deeper
validation right now.
Checking the city when you only submit a user seems beyond the scope of what
the validator should bother with.
Regards,
Dennis
