I like it a lot already, it keeps my html clean and the ability to build custom validators is great. One thing I added was a short hand for binding the validation and submit functions, and wrapped it up as a jQuery plugin:

if (jQuery) {
    (function($)
    {
        $.regula = function(formId, callback) 
        {
            regula.bind();

            $("#" + formId).submit(function() 
            {
                var validationResults = regula.validate();

                if (validationResults.length > 0)
                {
                    if (callback)
                        callback(validationResults);

                    return false;
                }

                return true;
            });
        };
    })(jQuery);
}

Infact, I've just blogged about it to as I am that impressed with how clean and easy it is. I'm still going to spend time going through your source, to see how your accomplished it, but its a great start :)

In regards to integrating your framework, I work mostly with ASP.NET MVC, and it would be interesting to see how it translate server-side validation logic into client-side constraints. Something I might look over in the next month or so.
