You mean something like a JSON-view for TCA-based tables? This could
also be used for other AJAX-frameworks. Though care must be taken
because extJS uses special GET variables for remote sorting and paging,
which are probably incompatible with other frameworks. But maybe we can
make a base class with a derived extJS class.

I don't get what do you mean.

Should these replace the home-grown JS validations that TCEforms now
uses? I had the idea to check all TCA validations and make sure that all
checks that can be done client side are done there. Additionally all
checks that may be done with AJAX are done before saviing the record.

In PHP or in JS?

Sounds good. But I have to dig into extJS localization yet.
