Q: 

Using any type for MVC2 client side validation not just the Model

It seems that with MVC2 client side validation the type used to derive the validation rules from is fixed to the type of the Model of the View.

I don't want to be bound to having the same ViewModel shape in and out. I want to take a message approach to action methods.

With xVal you where give the option to specify the type used for client side validation Eg:

ClientSideValidation<NewUserMessage>()

Have I missed something with MVC2 client validation?

xVal is no longer being maintained from the looks of things, so if i would like to move if possible.
