You need to re-do all your client-side user assistance prompts+ with real validation serverside anyway...

+ client-side validation is not validation.

Server side validation is a backstop. It doesn't need to have fancy error messages or anything like that. Client side can have friendly, nice error handling and validation. Server side can damn near barf on the user's shoes when it encounters a validation issue.
