Needs Help:

#447816 Relying on a color to indicate a field validation error
Some people prefer keeping the status quo, which uses color to indicate error fields. Other people want to see the full error message listed next to each field. The most recent patch I posted strikes a compromise with use of an exclamation mark (!) to create some indicator besides color that a field has an error, and makes this theme-able so sites can override it. What do you think? We need to speak up for accessibility and strike a compromise if we want to get anything included in Drupal 7.
