I think this will be hard, because in the case of an error the form is
filled based on the request values, not anything from a validator. That
is, we try to offer up the form in the same state it was submitted.
File controls are an exception, as you can't fill those in.
I think this would have to happen in @validate somehow.
Luke and Anil (copied) had a patch to disable the filling-in of certain
fields in the validate decorator. Maybe that patch would be useful (if
one of you could send it on to Mike).
