If your objective is to refactor the Validate package, you might want to ha=
ve a
look at how we use validation rules in HTML_QuickForm. We used the Strategy
pattern which makes it easy to add new rules and a Registry which loads onl=
y the
request rules on demand, checking if they have not already been loaded. It =
also
handles new rules registration.
Good luck,

Nahh the objective was to make the main package smaller really and make
the APIs consistent between locale packages, people do not use the main
Validate package to call the underlying (read sub packages) functions,
tho well multiple() function does some calling but not in the sense that
QF does it.
Plus the way QF does it, that would mean that I'd have to make a new
file for each rule, and same for every of the sub packages ... And than
we have a high count of files :)
If I'm missing something than by all means let me know.
Thanks for the input.
