[whups] Using form information for validation

[Alex Leverington]

I retract my question and query. I got it figured out. It's all good. A few more
changes and I will be posting a diff that will complete the backend stuff for
the Assignee form. Then I'll get some stuff for the assignment backend (user
databases, whether it uses horde, auth stuff, etc.)
