Agree! As I said earlier you can over-manage your form. Just happened to
me with an eBay seller's over-managed checkout form, it was balking a my
*verified* PayPal address saying that my zip code way incorrect, but
their form was auto-filled from my eBay info. The problem: my verified
address included zip+4 code and their 'validator' only used 5 digit zip!
Bad design....
