I meant that the *available* validation rules should be in sync. For 
example, there is a validator rule "EmailAddress" in extbase, but no 
such thing in the TCE. On the other hand, I think that there are eval 
options for TCE which are not available in extbase.

So, if I wanted to have the same validation rules in FE and in BE then 
it is not always possible at the moment.

True. I was surprised that validation was turned on by default with the 
showAction. It seems sensible to turn it off there.

I'm now going to take a look in the core to see which rules are there 
and see if I can add the rules from extbase somehow.
