Ok, compatibility is a reason I understand.
You are right: if I make a decision, which error message would be
appropriate for each single field it works fine.
If there is a lot of fields with IS_INT_IN_RANGE requirements like T('enter
an integer between %(min)g and %(max)g') I will use an additional variable,
e.g.:
mm=T('enter an integer between %(min)g and %(max)g')
db.pet.legs.requires=IS_INT_IN_RANGE(0,9,mm)
