One way (the "approved" way) to do this is almost ready.  Part of the  
vision of fields is that they may only validate within themselves.   
Interfaces are the way to make statements about groups of fields.   
You may make statements about interactions of fields with invariants:  
see zope/interface/README.txt and look for the word 'invariant'.

What we don't have yet is form machinery that checks invariants and  
displays the errors.  This is working in our local code and will be  
part of Zope 3.2.
