The standard EditView doesn't validate data - the Widgets comprising 
that view do so (via the Fields that they represent). To perform 
View-level validation (eg. validating fields against each other) you'll 
need to write your own View which performs that additional validation 
after the getWidgetsData call.

Note that the standard EditView won't be *using* getWidgetsData Real 
Soon. See my other post about that for more info though.
