this is really an annoyance - I already put some efforts on this at the  
UXW, but didn't really solve it. Nice that you took care!

Is the format pi_flexform||field_name good? I think this is kind of a "new  
convention" - same would apply for the problem that the multi-select form  
field with a max-value of 1 accepts more than 1 values (don't remember the  
bug #).
So I'd like to see a core-dev opinion on this!

Could you give me a ready-to-use example, please? Don't have all the code  
in mind. I'm currently in vacation, so time is very limited :) Then will  
test ASAP

Greets from New York City!
