Anne,
I don't quite agree that it is the same issue. The problem I wanted 
to highlight was: if I want users to be able to input more than one 
mail address in a field, it seems I can not use the email type 
(loosing potential UA cleverness like offering users address book 
entries) because this will only validate a single mail address. The 
only way around that may be recursing to JavaScript for validation (I 
haven't read the bits about custom validation interacting with native 
validation but I assume there is a way the former can overrule the 
latter.)
As multiple input is used in every webmail application it is so 
common we should consider the validation problem IMO..
