Great!

I believe all form submissions go through there ATM. But it would
probably be good if there was something "API-like" so you could call it
from elsewhere if required, unless that's too much work?

Will the validation image automatically be added to all forms, or is it
something we need to set for each form that needs it? And if it's
automatic, is there a way to turn it off for a form through form.php?

That would be nice if it could be fixed to be a page inside the portal.
IIRC I have code around to fix that for the generic forms, that will go
in any day now :-) Might help you build off.

Any reason why this is not in /system/? I like the way things are now
where all the code goes in one subdir. If it's many files, it could go
in /system/validation?

I assume the validate handler then passes control back into handleform,
or does form-handling move completely into the validator?

Rest looks very good!

Send a patch through to the list for even more comments, I guess.
