[TYPO3-mvc] Validation for EmailAddress called when nothing is filled in, not required property

[Claus Due]

Hi Bastian et al,

What about this notation (hopefully self-explanatory)?

@validate Empty OR (NotEmpty AND (Text OR SomeCustomValidation))
@validate EmailAddress OR Empty
@validate Empty OR ((Float OR Number OR Integer) AND NotEmpty)

Parentheses are required for a compact annotation of complex nested conditions, I think. Also - such an annotation with Conjunction/Disjunction would be quite big and unintelligible in comparison.

IMHO multiple validation lines should always be considered an implicit AND constraint as it is now. Apart from this, conjunction/disjunction should be possible in a single line.

Your thoughts on this?

There is already a conjunction and disjunction validator that could be used to logically combine multiple validators (via AND/OR). The part that's missing is the format of the annotation.. If you have an idea, feel free to share it.
