Thanks Uma, this is starting to make sense... I am now able get a list 
of current validations for any field I want on a module. One question, 
does this validation engine care about the view? What I mean is is the 
validation the same for Edit and for Detail views?

Also, I wanted to note something before I forgot it - I think there 
might be an issue in vtiger...

There is modules/Vtiger/resources/validator/FieldValidator.js and in 
that file is a class

"Vtiger_Base_Validator_Js("Vtiger_Email_Validator_Js",{"

There is *also* a file 
modules/Vtiger/resources/validator/EmailValidator.js which contains a class

"Vtiger_BaseValidator_Js("Vtiger_EmailValidator_Js",{},{"

These would appear to be doing the same thing but with slightly 
different classnames so I wonder why there are two?
