Cool. The general answer is that any validation code like this should
definitely wind up in XP code, rather than closely bound to a
platform-specific widget.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's much existing design work in the tree
about how to do the class factoring for toolbar controls. In fact, IIRC, we
just hacked in platform-specific implementations to get something working.
:-(
There ought to be a better way.
