I think one is for forms, one is for the insert. From the book:
"Notice that requires=... is enforced at the level of forms, required=True
is enforced at the level of the DAL (insert), while notnull, unique and
ondelete are enforced at the level of the database. While they sometimes
may seem redundant, it is important to maintain the distinction when
programming with the DAL."
