Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt. And wish I never went there -- MVC2 validation is frankly not on par with xVal once you've got xVal properly implemented. In addition, MVC3 validation is much, much better done.
So, if I were jumping off xVal, I would vector towards making it work with MVC3 which is a much different beast.
Though I subscribe somewhat to what Wyatt said here especially the part about MVC3, but I have been using MVC2 client side validation and it has not been a bad experience at all.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
