Comment (by 112502):

 You're correct, however, you're missing that there is no httpd status
 message to correspond to a Field Validation Error, thus 200 is the correct
 response.

 About the closest you could come to an "informative" httpd status code is
 a 400 error... but then...

 You're redirecting back to the offending page (as suggested, by using
 traditional form validation), and you don't want the error following you
 --- Especially consider that in this case, where you're doing a POST
 %{SELF} it doesn't make any sense to attach an httpd status code to a page
 which "is" displaying correctly --- even though there's a form validation
 error.

 Hopefully, that makes sense... Written communication doesn't seem to be my
 strong point today. ;-)
