Hi rctay, some of this is done already. In particular in the example you mention if a "string" field has length=78, you atomtalically get a IS_LENGTH (78) validators. Similarly a date field gets a IS_DATE() validators, etc. This does not apply to 'text' because most databases impose no length contraints on TEXT.
Anyway, I will look into improving this without breaking backward compatibility.
