So why is it easier to have the client do the validation than the server?   You're adding protocol to make this work, and in order for this to be useful, changes are required on the server anyway.   These changes are quite a bit more complex than the changes required to simply do whatever validation you are arguing should be done.   So why not do it the easy way instead of the hard way?

Then the client is broken.   Why not fix it instead of adding more protocol?

Again, the client is broken.   Why not fix it instead of adding more protocol?
