IMO the easiest way to do input validation is assigning a Regex to each available record type in some general config file or wherever. Since the syntax is quite the same you can use them either for "on the fly" validation via javascript regex'es or inside your PHP scripts. You can find some examples 
in the config file inside the includes/ directory in ZoneAdmin (sf.net/projects/ZoneAdmin) - although these regex patterns still leave room for "bad" content. If someone here is up to the task you're very welcome to help us out with some code :)
