Validation discrepancies between admin and newforms

Hi all,

I just noticed that fields validation occurs at several
places, in a
incoherent fashion: in the admin application, and in
newforms/fields.py.
For instance, a PhoneNumberField has to be XXX-XXX-XXXX in
the admin,
while it is handled as an IntegerField in newforms (thus
validation fails
on dashes).

Shouldn't the validation be centralized and occur only in
one place? Or is
this a wanted behaviour, since the admin is a contributed
app, and not
part of django core?

Thanks,

The admin app is currently being rebuilt to use newforms. No
doubt
this, plus many similar issues are being addressed there.
Watch the
dev list for discussions and check out the branch here:
