Description
Validators which check other fields don't work with edit_inline.
Take django.core.validators.RequiredIfOtherFieldEquals for example:
This validates by checking if all_data[self.other_field] equals self.other_value. However, with edit_inline, all_data contains keys of the form foo.0.field_name, hence using self.other_field as a key for all_data doesn't work.
Ideally, for edit_inline, the validator should be passed a modified all_data dict with only the relevant fields in it. Maybe DotExpandedDict would come in handy when implementing this?

I'm marking this a dup of #265 as it appears to be the same issue and has some code attached.
There are a couple of sides to this behaviour, it seems. I am trying to start a discussion on the developers list to work out what we really want to do here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_frm/thread/123a0a9ba53753b2/e31cb47a017b69cd#e31cb47a017b69cd
