If there were unlimited programing time, or it were easy to do, I'd like 
"Error found -- please try again" (or something similar) to show above 
the specific messages. Something nice and bold. Also a <hr> or at least 
some space between the error messages and the form. Personal pet peeve: 
Forms that look like they worked but didn't, and error messages that 
hide on me.

I like how it doesn't forget what I've typed in.
