Could we pass in filtering settings to validate the same way rules/messages are passed? This would solve my problem, I would pass in .not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")) and the hidden fields would be ignored while Dan wouldn't pass in any filters so his hidden fields would be validated.

I'm not sure if this was a question to just Ryan or to everyone. :) However, I often find the need to validate against hidden form fields.
