[Zope3-dev] Why do we need inut widgets to have both validate and getInputValue methods?

[Jim Fulton]

zope.app.form.interfaces.IInputWidget defines validate and getInputValue
methods that seem to do the same thing.  In fact, the default implementation
of validate in zope.app.form.Widget just returns the result of calling
getInputValue. None of the implementations in zope.app.form.browser
override this definition of validate.

I propose to get rid of (deprecate) the validate method.

Any objections?

Jim
