I'd like to use autosave => true for an association for its added benefits: the parent doesn't save unless the children saves.  However, it seems to skip validations when saving the children.  And this seems to be the case since the beginning of time...

Anyone know why?

Sometimes it's useful - if you want the save to fail if any child has errors, use validates_associated:
